Tebori

A three-issue series from Dargaud, Tebori (2016–2017) pairs writer José Robledo with artist Marcial Toledano for a taut, self-contained crime story set in the world of traditional Japanese tattooing. The narrative weaves through the shadowy intersections of yakuza loyalty, artistic integrity, and personal vengeance, anchored by Toledano’s expressive linework and atmospheric storytelling. Though brief, the series stands out for its focused, character-driven exploration of a subculture rarely treated with such nuanced respect in comics.
