Miss Octobre

In this four-issue series from Le Lombard (2012–2015), writer Stephen Desberg and artist Alain Queireix craft a stylish, noir-tinged espionage thriller centered on a mysterious female operative. The story unfolds across a taut, self-contained run that blends Cold War intrigue with a personal, morally complex narrative. Desberg’s sharp plotting and Queireix’s expressive, atmospheric art make this a distinctive entry in the European spy genre, notable for its lean, focused storytelling.
