'In the Heart of Darkness') is a French comic book written by Stéphane Miquel [fr] and illustrated by Loïc Godart [fr].
It is based on Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness and was published by Soleil on 12 March 2014.
[1][2][3][4] In the late 19th century, the young man Marlow is sent from Europe to colonial Congo to search for a man named Kurtz who mysteriously has disappeared.
[1] Benjamin Roure of BoDoï [fr] wrote that adapting Heart of Darkness is a dangerous task due to its intentionally obscured perspective and the protagonist's gradual discovery of absurdity.
Roure wrote that Miquel and Godart succeed brilliantly at telling the story with a slow and hypnotic rhythm, which works in harmony with the "semi-realistic" drawing style, with reddish brown hues and imagery that never becomes boring.
