Ghost Money

Thierry Smolderen and Dominique Bertail launch an elegant, globe-trotting thriller set in the late 1920s for Dargaud Benelux. Centered on a young American journalist caught in a web of financial intrigue and shadowy power, the story’s first issue unfolds with a distinctive, period-rich atmosphere. Bertail’s lush, detailed artwork brings the Jazz Age to life, while Smolderen’s script weaves a sophisticated mystery around the elusive concept of “ghost money.” This series marks a compelling, if brief, collaboration between two notable European comics talents.
