Les Larmes de l'assassin

Based on the novel by Jean-Baptiste Andrea, this 2011 graphic novel from Futuropolis is the sole work of writer-artist Thierry Murat. It adapts the story of a young boy living in a remote Patagonian inn, whose life is upended by the arrival of a mysterious fugitive. Murat’s evocative, painterly art brings the stark landscape and the tense, emotional standoff to life. The book stands as a singular, self-contained work of literary adaptation in the French bande dessinée tradition.
