120, Rue de la Gare

Jacques Tardi adapts Léo Malet's classic Nestor Burma detective novel 120, Rue de la Gare for this two-issue series from France's Edition Moderne, launched in 1988. With David Basler co-writing, the story follows the hard-boiled private eye through a shadowy, post-World War II Parisian mystery. Tardi's signature ligne claire style brings Malet's atmospheric crime fiction to vivid life, marking a key entry in the celebrated French cartoonist's long-running collaboration with the author's work.
