Smith & Wesson

In the late 1980s, Arboris published this two-issue crime series, written by François Corteggiani and Helmut Mennicken with art by Pierre Tranchand. A terse, hardboiled story of two men bound by their shared name and a violent past, Smith & Wesson delivers a compact dose of European noir. It stands as a brief but potent example of the era's Continental crime comics.
