Fatale

In this single-issue noir graphic novel published by Schreiber & Leser in 2014, writer Jean-Patrick Manchette (with Doug Headline and Resel Rebiersch) and artist Max Cabanes adapt a hardboiled crime story of a fatal femme and the men she ensnares. A taut, visually striking European thriller, Fatale distills Manchette’s signature bleak, precise storytelling into a self-contained comic that stands as a potent example of French crime comics translated for an international audience.
