Killer stellen sich nicht vor

Jacques Tardi adapts Jean-Patrick Manchette's taut crime novel into a stark, black-and-white graphic thriller for Edition Moderne, launched in 2006. With Martin Budde contributing to the adaptation, this single-issue comic distills Manchette's signature fatalistic suspense into Tardi's precise, atmospheric art. A concise, potent entry in French neo-noir comics, it showcases two masters of the genre collaborating on a lean, unforgiving narrative.
