Streets of Paris, Streets of Murder: The Complete Graphic Noir of Manchette & Tardi

A two-issue series from Fantagraphics collecting the complete graphic noir collaborations of writer Jean-Patrick Manchette and artist Jacques Tardi, launched in 2020. These hardboiled crime stories transplant American-style pulp violence to the streets of Paris, with Tardi's meticulous, ink-heavy artwork bringing a gritty, atmospheric realism to Manchette's taut, politically charged narratives. The series matters as a definitive English-language presentation of two French masters of the genre, whose work together redefined European crime comics.
