Philipp Kradow #[nn]

Philipp Kradow, Détective Privé — and the cover tagline says it all with a wink: "Son job : résoudre. Son problème : c'est un verbe du 3e groupe." This Fluide Glacial production from 2015, crafted by MO and cdm, opens with a gloriously chaotic scene of Kradow himself getting hurled across a set of railway tracks in a trench coat, blood spattering the air above a gritty urban backdrop. It's hard-boiled detective fiction filtered through sharp French wit — the kind of comic that takes its genre seriously enough to lampoon it with genuine affection.
