L'Alligator

In 2007, Casterman launched L'Alligator, a French comic series that, after its initial single issue, has continued as an ongoing publication. The series is most closely associated with its creator, writer and artist Jean-David Morvan, who crafts a gritty, noir-tinged crime saga set in the Louisiana bayou. Its significance lies in its atmospheric, slow-burn storytelling and its distinctive visual style, which blends European bande dessinée with American crime comics.
