A surprising, wry and deeply moving reflection on despair and the way back out, the original French edition of Haunted was nominated for the 2006 award for Best Comic Book at the Angouleme International Comics Festival. Ten years after Maybe Later-the book in which the French superstar cartooning duo Philippe Dupuy and Charles Berberian worked separately for the first time-Dupuy set out on his own again with Haunted. Roughed-in drawings give an urgent, spontaneous feeling to hallucinatory stories and dreamlike sequences that register the raw distress of solitude and self-doubt-balanced by an acid humour and lyrical sensibility.
