Virus

A short-lived but intense burst of European independent comics, Virus ran for five issues from 1980 to 1981 under the Editions du Fromage banner. Entirely the work of creator Jean-Claude Claeys, the series offered a singular, unbroken vision in both writing and art. While its brief run makes it a footnote in the broader landscape of the time, it stands as a pure artifact of its creator's unfiltered imagination, capturing a moment when small-press comics could be a personal, idiosyncratic statement.
