About the series
From 1992 to 1994, French publisher Glénat released the three-issue series Matador, a taut crime saga written by Gani Jakupi and illustrated by Hugues Labiano. The story follows a hitman navigating the brutal underworld of organized crime, with Labiano's stark, expressive art bringing a noir intensity to Jakupi's lean, hard-boiled script. Though brief, the series stands as a sharp, self-contained example of European crime comics from the early 1990s, showcasing the creative partnership of two talents who would go on to further work in the genre.
