Monsieur Bermutier

A single-issue comic from Casterman, Monsieur Bermutier (2014–present) introduces a French magistrate whose professional life is intertwined with strange, unsettling cases. The series, still ongoing, is most closely associated with its writer and artist, who together craft a moody, atmospheric crime narrative. It matters for its quiet, literary approach to the detective genre, offering a European alternative to more bombastic crime comics.
