Menneskejakt i Istanbul [Max Fridman]

Vittorio Giardino’s stylish espionage thriller Menneskejakt i Istanbul (published in Norway by Semic in 1987) introduces the world-weary secret agent Max Fridman in a single, self-contained issue. Written and drawn by Giardino, this European comic masterfully blends Cold War paranoia with a richly detailed Istanbul setting, establishing the series’ reputation for sophisticated, noir-tinged storytelling. Though a brief entry, it remains a key work in Giardino’s celebrated career and a touchstone for fans of mature, artful spy comics.
