Kickback

In Kickback, a hardboiled detective story set in a gritty urban landscape, writer and artist Jean-David Morvan and Christian De Metter collaborated on this two-issue miniseries from Editions Carabas, launching in 2005. The series follows a private investigator entangled in a web of corruption and violence, with De Metter’s moody, expressionistic art defining its noir atmosphere. Though brief, it stands as a tight, standalone example of French crime comics, showcasing the publisher’s focus on mature, creator-driven storytelling.
