Une Longue Canicule

In this quiet, atmospheric French-language comic series from Éditions Mécanique Générale, Anne Villeneuve's art captures the oppressive stillness of a heatwave that settles over a small town. The story unfolds through a single, self-contained issue (2017–present), using the sweltering summer as a backdrop for subtle human tensions and unspoken connections. Villeneuve's delicate linework and muted palette give the series a distinct, reflective mood, marking it as a notable example of contemporary European graphic storytelling.
