Torpedo #1
This volume collects the first two stories of the gritty, black-and-white crime series Torpedo, originally published in France. Written by Daniel Pennac and illustrated by Cossu, the book follows the brutal and cynical hitman Luca Torelli as he navigates the violent underworld of 1930s New York. The title, translating to 'To Kill is to Live,' encapsulates the dark, hard-boiled ethos of the character and the series' unflinching portrayal of his deadly profession.
In "Torpedo 1936," the reluctant hitman Torpedo—real name Luca Torrelli—takes on a job that’s as messy as it is absurd: assassinate his boss’s ex-mistress, Belle. With a mix of cunning and self-interest, he devises a scheme that promises not just the payout, but also a chance to get close to the woman he’s been eyeing from afar.
