Torpedo

Set in the gritty, cynical underworld of 1930s New York, Torpedo follows the brutal, chain-smoking hitman Luca Torelli. Published by Albin Michel from 1983 to 1987, this six-issue series is a masterclass in European crime noir, defined by the sharply amoral scripts of Enrique Sánchez Abulí and the stark, expressive black-and-white art of Jordi Bernet. A cult classic, it stands as a landmark of mature, unflinching storytelling in comics.
