Noir

A single-issue comic from Casterman (2009–present), Noir is a stark, self-contained graphic novel by the acclaimed French artist Baru. It stands as a potent, standalone work in his career, exploring themes of identity and social tension through his signature expressive, black-and-white linework. Though brief in its run, the book is a concentrated example of Baru's enduring power as a storyteller of working-class life and racial conflict.
