La petite couronne

Set in the gritty outskirts of Paris, La petite couronne is a French crime comic from 6 Pieds Sous Terre that launched in 2017 with a single, self-contained issue. It captures a tense, noir-tinged atmosphere, focusing on the underbelly of the suburban "crown" surrounding the capital. The series is notable for its stark, realistic art and its snapshot of a specific, often overlooked milieu in French comics.
