Julia

Guido Crepax's Julia (1992–present) from Schreiber & Leser is a sophisticated Italian crime-thriller series centered on a criminologist and forensic psychiatrist who uses her intellect and empathy to solve violent cases. With Crepax's signature, elegantly stylized artwork and psychological depth, the series explores the dark intersections of desire, trauma, and justice. Though it began as a single issue, its enduring legacy lies in its nuanced, mature approach to the crime genre and its iconic, complex female protagonist.
