Jacques Tardi brings his signature ligne claire style to this 2021 series from Edition Moderne, adapting Léo Malet's hardboiled crime fiction with co-writer Kai Wilksen. Set in a shadowy mid-20th-century France, the series follows a lone detective through a labyrinth of corruption and murder. Tardi's meticulous, atmospheric art anchors this single-issue entry, offering a taut, faithful translation of Malet's noir vision for modern readers.
