Nettoyage à sec #[nn]

A lone man in a rumpled suit stands in the rain on glistening cobblestones, clutching a vivid red bag — Joris Mertens renders this quietly tense scene with a striking color palette that shifts from cool blues to warm oranges across the wet street. Published by Rue de Sèvres in 2022, Nettoyage à sec carries the unmistakable atmosphere of a noir thriller, where ordinary details feel loaded with unspoken weight. If you're drawn to moody, beautifully illustrated European comics, this one absolutely earns a place on your shelf.
