Une enquête de l'inspecteur Canardo #22

Two duck-billed detectives stand against a cool, open waterscape on this 2013 Casterman volume — the weathered, trench-coated Inspecteur Canardo alongside a smaller, wide-eyed companion, both gazing toward the horizon with a mix of weariness and wariness. Sokal's title, Le Vieux Canard et la Mer, cheekily nods to a certain Hemingway classic while promising the noir atmosphere that has made this anthropomorphic series so enduring. A quiet, moody cover that sets the perfect tone for another chapter in one of Franco-Belgian comics' most distinctive detective sagas.
