Roberto Succo

In this stark, one-issue graphic novel from French publisher Emmanuel Proust, the series examines the real-life case of Italian serial killer Roberto Succo, whose violent spree across France in the 1980s shocked Europe. Based on extensive research and court transcripts, it offers a chilling, psychological portrait rather than sensationalizing the crimes. The project is closely associated with writer and artist who collaborated to create a dense, noir-inflected work that stands as a notable entry in the European true-crime comics tradition. Its significance lies in its unflinching, humanizing approach to a notoriously complex and disturbing figure.
