A few words about the graphic novel Bolchoi Arena
This three-volume series has made a lasting impact on the graphic novel landscape in recent years. Written by Boulet, its compelling storyline blends space adventure with a thought-provoking exploration of video game worlds and the virtualization of reality. Illustrated by Aseyn, the work captivates readers with stunning pages reminiscent of the artistry of Moebius or Otomo.
Notably, the series has been shortlisted twice in the official selection of the Angoulême International Comics Festival.
I started from an illustration I had originally made for Instagram — a kind of narrative experiment I love to explore in my illustration work (especially for Libération). I’m using the comic strip format — a sequence of panels — but in a purely illustrative and graphic way, not as a traditional linear story.
That approach lets me break down different facets of an idea, explore various angles, and play with the shape and arrangement of the panels so they echo the theme itself — a continuation of the concept through a specific layout, where the reading direction can be multidirectional.
In this case, the top strip, with panels shaped like crescent moons and then planets, is meant to convey speed and progression through space. To fit the requested format, I added a mirrored strip underneath, showing the main characters.
