Maigret

Editions du Rocher launched this comic adaptation of Georges Simenon's iconic detective in 1997, with a single issue that brings the methodical Parisian inspector to the graphic medium. The series is most closely associated with artist Philippe Wurm and writer Odile Reynaud, who translate the atmospheric, psychological crime tales into a visual format. While brief, this entry matters as a faithful, European-style graphic novel interpretation of a literary legend.
