"Tam-tam pour Manhattan" is a delightfully absurd parody of Sherlock Holmes, featuring a woman who enlists the famed detective Shermlock to break into her uncle's room—only to discover there's no real crime to solve. Written by Harvey Kurtzman and brought to life with sharp, chaotic energy by artists Bill Elder and Marie Severin, this 1986 Albin Michel special blends classic mystery tropes with surreal humor. The cover by Pepe Moreno captures the madness perfectly, making this a must-have for fans of offbeat comics.
