Jack Palmer

A long-running French series from Albin Michel, Jack Palmer (1989–2006) follows the misadventures of its titular, bumbling private detective across nine issues. Created and drawn throughout by René Pétillon, the series is a staple of Franco-Belgian humor comics, known for its deadpan satire and the agent's knack for stumbling into absurd situations. Its enduring appeal lies in Pétillon's sharp, minimalist cartooning and the character's hapless charm, making it a quietly influential work in European comedic comics.
