Ville Spéciale

Set in a surreal, architectural dreamscape, Ville Spéciale is a French comic series from Édition L'Articho, launched in 2022. The single-issue debut, created by artist and writer Jérôme Dubois, explores a city where buildings shift and streets rearrange themselves according to the moods of its inhabitants. With its quiet, meticulous linework and a narrative that unfolds like a silent puzzle, this series offers a meditative, experimental take on urban fantasy. It matters as a distinctive, self-contained work that showcases Dubois's ability to build a fully realized world in a single, dense issue.
