De silence et de sang

François Corteggiani and Jean-Yves Mitton (with Malès on art) crafted this long-running Glénat series, which unfolded over fourteen issues from 1986 to 2004. A dark, atmospheric crime saga rooted in the gritty underbelly of contemporary France, De silence et de sang is remembered for its unflinching focus on violence and moral ambiguity. The series stands as a significant, mature work in the European comic tradition, a slow-burn thriller that rewards readers with its dense, noirish plotting.
