By Belgian comic artist François Schuiten (born 1956) for his comic “Les Cités obscures” (literally The Obscure Cities), a graphic novel series set on a Counter-Earth, started by Schuiten and his friend, writer Benoît Peeters in the early 1980s. In this fictional world, humans live in independent city-states, each of which has developed a distinct civilization, each characterized by a distinctive architectural style.
