The Louche and Insalubrious Escapades of Art d'Ecco

Andrew and Roger Langridge's The Louche and Insalubrious Escapades of Art d'Ecco, launched by Fantagraphics in 2006, is a single-issue comic that introduces a delightfully disreputable protagonist. The series, a collaboration between the Langridge brothers, promises a witty, stylishly drawn romp through the misadventures of its titular character. Though brief, this debut issue establishes a unique tone that blends sophisticated humor with a distinctly seedy charm.
