Neuro: Le Mange-Mystères #1

Neuro: Le Mange-Mystères is a French-language comic series created by writer Corbeyran and illustrator Horne, first published by Delcourt in 2007. The series emerged during a period of prolific production for Delcourt, aiming to blend elements of psychological thriller and dark fantasy within the Franco-Belgian bande dessinée tradition. The narrative follows a protagonist capable of consuming the mysteries of the past, a concept reflected in the series' atmospheric and gothic-inspired visual style.

Horne’s character designs and page layouts for this inaugural issue were crafted to emphasize the series' haunting, enigmatical tone, utilizing high-contrast ink work that aligns with the darker trends of mid-2000s European graphic novels. While the series did not achieve the widespread international recognition of some contemporaries, it remains a notable example of Corbeyran’s experimentation with genre-bending storytelling, often praised by collectors of modern French independent comics for its stylistic consistency and thematic ambition.
