120, Rue de la Gare #[nn]

Rendered in Tardi's striking monochromatic style, this Edition Moderne hardcover presents a brooding close-up of a pipe-smoking detective looming large against a shadowy night cityscape, while a determined young woman clutching a pistol stands her ground in the background. The atmosphere is pure noir — gas lamps, ivy-draped buildings, and deep grey shadows setting a mood of quiet menace. Adapted from Léo Malet's celebrated novel, *120, Rue de la Gare* is a handsome showcase for Tardi's cover art and a must for fans of French crime fiction.
