Sept balles pour Oxford

Over seven issues published by Le Lombard between 2004 and 2009, Sept balles pour Oxford is a taut, atmospheric crime thriller penned by Jorge Zentner and Montecarlo, with striking art by Marcello Quintanilha. The series follows a professor drawn into a web of violence and intrigue after a mysterious request to retrieve seven bullets from a crime scene in the English university city. Its moody, European noir sensibility and tight, character-driven storytelling make it a standout example of the period’s continental graphic novels.
