Nicotine Goudron

In the early 1990s, Albin Michel published this gritty two-issue series by writer Yann and artist Bodart, a short-lived but intense dive into the seedy underbelly of a crime-ridden city. The story follows a hard-boiled detective navigating a world of corruption, violence, and moral ambiguity, with Bodart’s stark, expressive art amplifying the noir atmosphere. Though brief, Nicotine Goudron stands as a sharp, atmospheric example of European crime comics from that era.
