Max : Veuve Noire

A French-language, one-shot prestige comic published by Panini France in 2003, Max : Veuve Noire is a standalone story featuring the Black Widow in a mature-readers format. Part of Panini's "Max" line, it presents the spy and assassin in a grittier, more adult context than typical superhero fare. This single issue is notable for bringing the Marvel character into a European comics market with a self-contained, noir-inflected tale.
