Commissaire Kouamé #3

A sharply dressed detective in a pale blue suit strides forward with unmistakable authority as a menacing crowd of figures emerges from the jungle shadows behind him — it's a cover that immediately signals high-stakes tension with real visual flair. Writer Marguerite Abouet and artist Donatien Mary bring their West African crime series to its third volume, with the subtitle On ne fait pas de feu sous un arbre en fleur hinting at proverb-laced intrigue. Published by Gallimard in 2025, this series continues to stand out as one of the more distinctive detective comics in contemporary French-language publishing.
