"Those Who Came from Elsewhere"

An exhibition of two french visionary comic book masters who brought celestial mysteries to life.

Do extraterrestrials really exist? This question has fueled fantasies and debates for decades. For Jacques Lob and Robert Gigi, doubt was not an option. In their works, the two authors explored close encounters, drawing inspiration from famous cases like those of Kenneth Arnold and Barney and Betty Hill.

Through Les Apparitions OVNI, Lob and Gigi highlighted the fascination with the unknown in a series of documentary-style comics, blending meticulous research with boundless creativity.

This exhibition invites you to dive into or rediscover the visionary and slightly offbeat universe of two comic book masters who brought celestial enigmas to life.
