Manchette - Tardi integraal

This Dutch-language integral from Scratch Books collects Jacques Tardi’s stark, atmospheric adaptations of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s crime novels, with additional scripting by Jean-Pierre Zinjé and Johan de Koning. Launched in 2019, the series distills Manchette’s hardboiled, politically charged narratives into Tardi’s signature ligne claire style, offering a definitive edition of their collaborative work. It matters as a showcase of two French masters—one of noir fiction, one of bande dessinée—converging on tales of violence and alienation.
