f you have reached this page by accident, while surfing the Web, and that you have never heard of the Obscure Cities, then this Dictionary will probably seem very strange! |
Les Cités Obscures are mainly, but not only, a remarkable graphic novel series combining the talents of Belgian authors François Schuiten for the drawings and Benoît Peeters for the scenarios. Begun in 1983 with Les Murailles de Samaris, the series now has over a dozen albums and a great many associated items, such as books, images, sculptures, exhibits and other media.
