La princesse du sang

In this two-issue Dupuis series from 2009–2011, writer Jean-Patrick Manchette and Doug Headline, with artist Max Cabanes, adapt a taut, noir-tinged thriller. The story follows a young woman drawn into a web of violence and intrigue, blending Manchette’s signature hardboiled sensibility with Cabanes’s expressive, atmospheric linework. A compact, sharp-edged entry in the European crime-comic tradition.
