De Killer

A long-running French thriller series from Casterman, De Killer follows a mysterious contract killer whose meticulously planned hits begin to unravel in unexpected ways. Launched in 2000, the series spans 13 issues and is most closely associated with writer and artist Éric Corbeyran, whose taut, noir-infused storytelling and stark visual style define its tense, psychological atmosphere. It stands as a significant entry in European crime comics, offering a cold, methodical look at the assassin's trade that avoids glamorization in favor of grim realism.
