Mathieu Bablet’s ‘Silent Jenny!’ from Oni and Magnetic Press
Every once in a while, a project surfaces that feels less like a new comic and more like an event—something singular, ambitious, and unmistakably crafted by a visionary voice. Silent Jenny! is exactly that kind of project.
Oni Press and Magnetic Press have joined forces to bring readers an extraordinary new graphic novel from internationally acclaimed cartoonist Mathieu Bablet, whose meticulous linework and atmospheric storytelling have made him one of the most celebrated creators in modern comics. Known for Shangri‑La, Carbon & Silicon, and The Beautiful Death, Bablet has built a reputation for worlds that feel vast, lived‑in, and emotionally resonant. With Silent Jenny!, he turns that mastery toward a haunting, wordless tale that speaks volumes without a single line of dialogue.
With its recent Kickstarter launch on April 14th, we’re thrilled to present an exclusive early look at pages from this stunning new work—a glimpse into a story told through pure visual poetry, where every panel breathes, every gesture matters, and every shadow hints at something deeper.
Prepare to step into a world only Mathieu Bablet could create.
What you’ve seen here is only a fragment of the quiet power Silent Jenny! holds.
