La hyène

A short-lived but striking French crime series from the late 1960s, La hyène was published by Éditions Idées Images over five issues. Known for its moody, atmospheric artwork and a hard-boiled narrative style, the series is most associated with the creative team behind it, though it remains a cult footnote in European comics history. Its significance lies in its raw, adult-oriented take on the crime genre during a transitional period for French bande dessinée.
