Pigalle, 1950

Set in the red-light district of 1950s Pigalle, this Daedalus series from writer Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Michel Arroyo plunges readers into a world of shadowy jazz clubs and dangerous liaisons. With only a single issue released so far, the story evokes the gritty atmosphere of post-war Paris through Arroyo's moody artwork and Christin's character-driven narrative. It’s a promising, atmospheric noir that captures a specific time and place with a European comics sensibility.
