Streets of Paris, Streets of Murder: The Complete Graphic Noir of Manchette & Tardi #2

This second volume in Fantagraphics' series collects more of the hardboiled graphic noir collaborations between writer Jean-Patrick Manchette and artist Jacques Tardi. It includes the complete adaptation of Manchette's crime novel 'The N'Gustro Affair' (originally serialized as 'Le Petit Bleu de la Côte Ouest'), along with additional short stories that plunge readers into the seedy underbelly of 1970s Paris. Tardi's stark, expressive linework perfectly complements Manchette's terse, cynical prose in these taut tales of murder, betrayal, and political corruption.
