Description
Winner at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2022, Slash Them All is a graphic novel that pays tribute to 1980s American horror cinema. Antoine Maillard's work skillfully absorbs the traditions and tropes of the genre, presented in a gorgeous, grayscale pencil style reminiscent of 1950s film noir.
The story follows two high school students who are found dead, sparking fears of a serial killer on the loose. As summer approaches, the heightened police presence creates uncertainty and anxiety among the student body and surrounding community. Meanwhile, evil has its own plans, thrusting adolescents into adulthood in an unexpected and unprepared way.
This singular work of graphic fiction transcends its simple slasher inspirations with a graphic acuity and emotional depth that is both striking and thought-provoking.
