Torpedo

Set in the grimy 1930s underworld, Torpedo follows the brutal, chain-smoking hitman Luca Torelli as he navigates a world of double-crosses and casual violence. Published by Comics USA from 1987 to 1995, this 12-issue series is defined by the hard-boiled scripts of Enrique Sánchez Abulí and the stark, expressive artwork of Jordi Bernet, with early issues also featuring the legendary Alex Toth. A landmark of European crime comics, Torpedo strips the noir genre to its bone, earning its reputation through unflinching storytelling and masterful visual storytelling.
