David B. Publishes 'El señor Búho y el País de los Muertos' with an Underworld Evoking Interwar Paris

The influential French cartoonist David B., born David Beauchard in Nimes in 1959, has released a new graphic novel titled 'El señor Búho y el País de los Muertos'. This work presents a vision of the underworld reminiscent of Paris during the interwar period, where the dead are depicted as fearing their own shadows. David B. is renowned for revolutionizing French comics with his seminal work 'La ascensión del Gran Mal' (1996-2003), later published as 'Epiléptico'. That autobiographical masterpiece, which became a perennial bestseller, explored his family history marked by his older brother's epilepsy while establishing his enduring passion for mythology and storytelling. His prolific output has created a distinctive universe blending serialized fiction, dreams, and myth, with notable titles including works beyond the scope of this article. The new publication continues his exploration of fantastical narratives.
