Erma Jaguar

In the late '80s and early '90s, French publisher Albin Michel released a three-issue series of stylish, adult-oriented comics from writer-artist Alex Varenne, starring the enigmatic Erma Jaguar. These slim volumes follow the titular character through a world of sleek, erotic intrigue and psychological tension, rendered in Varenne's distinctive, elegant linework. Though brief, the series stands as a concentrated showcase of Varenne's mature, cinematic storytelling within the European bande dessinée tradition.
