Les enquêtes de Sam Pezzo

Vittorio Giardino’s Les enquêtes de Sam Pezzo is a single-issue crime comic from French publisher J’ai lu, launched in 1987. Giardino both writes and draws this self-contained story, introducing the hard-boiled private eye Sam Pezzo in a moody, European-inflected take on noir. Though brief in its run, the book stands as a compact, polished showcase of Giardino’s sleek linework and atmospheric storytelling.
