About the series
A darkly surreal French series from Dargaud, C.R.S = Détresse ran for thirteen issues between 1993 and 2007. It follows the absurd, often bleakly comic misadventures of a riot police squad, blending sharp social satire with a distinctly European, deadpan sense of humor. Most associated with the writer and artist team of Jean-Michel Thiriet and Olivier Balez, the series is a cult favorite for its unflinching, off-kilter look at authority and chaos.
