About the series
In this taut two-issue French thriller from Glénat, a professional killer known only as "The Cleaner" is forced to confront the consequences of his trade when a routine job spirals into a personal vendetta. Written and illustrated by a single creator, the series strips the hitman genre to its grim essentials, focusing on the psychological weight of violence rather than flashy action. It stands as a compact, noir-infused character study that earned a cult following for its stark, atmospheric artwork and unflinching moral ambiguity.
