Zone blanche

In the small, isolated village of Villefranche, nestled deep in a French forest, a series of unsettling events begin to unfold, drawing in a local police officer who must confront the town’s dark secrets. Launched in 2012 by Futuropolis, Zone blanche is a taut, atmospheric thriller that blends rural noir with hints of the supernatural. Though the series currently consists of a single issue, it establishes a compelling, slow-burn mystery defined by its moody, realistic art and a strong sense of place. This debut marks the beginning of a story that matters for its grounded, character-driven approach to the uncanny.
