Voyage à Uroshima

A planned series that began and ended with a single issue, Voyage à Uroshima (2006, Casterman) is a self-contained French comic that adapts a classic Japanese folktale about a fisherman who travels to an undersea dragon palace. The book is most associated with writer/artist François Schuiten, known for his meticulous, dreamlike architectural style, and stands as a concise, beautifully illustrated meditation on time and memory.
