Vampir

Joann Sfar’s Vampir (2013–present, avant-verlag) is a singular, ongoing graphic novel series that reimagines the vampire mythos through a deeply philosophical and melancholic lens. Published by the German avant-garde house avant-verlag, the series is defined entirely by Sfar’s lush, expressive artwork and his signature blend of dark humor, existential dread, and tender humanity. Though only a single issue has been released so far, its haunting, beautifully rendered world has already marked it as a distinctive, quietly influential work from one of Europe’s most celebrated comic artists.
