L'année du tag #[nn]
This volume collects the complete L'Année du Tag series, originally published in 1991 by Albin Michel. The story follows the misadventures of Jack Palmer, a bumbling private detective, as he navigates a case involving graffiti tags in a humorous, satirical take on urban culture and crime. René Pétillon's signature sharp wit and detailed artwork drive this standalone graphic novel, which is part of the broader Jack Palmer series but functions as a self-contained mystery.
"Banlieue" is a sharp, incisive look at the inner workings of journalism, told through the singular voice of Pétillon, who writes, draws, inks, and letters the story himself—his distinctive style brought to life with bold, expressive lines and color by Christine Couturier. Set against a backdrop of institutional scrutiny, the issue holds a mirror to the press, exposing the systems that shape news while fiercely guarding its own secrets. The cover, also by Pétillon, captures the tension with a stark, unflinching gaze.
In "Les dessous," a stubborn editor-in-chief is ready to expose the hidden truths behind the fisc, justice, police, politics, and even advertising—but one realm remains off-limits: the inner workings of journalism itself. With a wink and a smirk, the story takes aim at the profession it claims to serve, poking fun at its own sacred cows.
