Recommendations/Requests Favorite niche low volume count (1-5 vol.) graphic novels?
I've been collecting EC Science Fantasy comics lately and noticed that they had a bit of a niche audience. Do y'all have any recommendations for graphic novels with low volume counts with striking/excellent visual imagery? Preferably, in the realm of science fantasy/science fiction/horror. I enjoy Junji Ito, Beneath the Trees Where No One Sees, and the aforementioned EC Comics.

Upgrade Soul, Model Five Murder and Into The Unbeing are all underrated sci-fi graphic novels

I would highly recomend a guest in the house by E.M. carrol. It's a single book about a family experiencing a haunting.
Uf you happen to speak French I would also highly recomend minuit passé by Gaëlle Geniller. Which is actually also a single book about a family expiriencing a haunting. They have very diferente vibes though, guest in the house fits more into the horror genre while this one fits a lot more in mystery.

anything by Panpanya
Les Miserables by Takahiro Arai if you count each omni as a single volume
Evangelion if you go by the same metrics.
