About the series
In the stylish, pastel-hued world of 1960s suburbia, Lady Killer (2016–2018) from Glénat presents a chillingly sharp two-issue miniseries about a seemingly perfect housewife who leads a double life as a ruthless contract killer. This darkly comic thriller, most associated with writer Joëlle Jones, subverts the classic domestic ideal by casting its cheerful protagonist as a methodical assassin, balancing grocery lists and hit lists with equal precision. The series stands out for its gorgeous, deceptive art and its taut, subversive storytelling, making it a memorable cult hit that redefines the femme fatale archetype.
