Tueur de cafards

In 1984, Casterman published the single issue of Tueur de cafards, a darkly satirical one-shot by writer Benjamin Legrand and artist Jacques Tardi. The story follows a man driven to the brink by the cockroaches infesting his apartment, spiraling into a grimly comic, obsessive war against the pests. This standalone work showcases Tardi’s signature detailed, moody linework and Legrand’s caustic storytelling, offering a compact, unsettling fable about urban despair and futility. It remains a cult curiosity for fans of the legendary French artist’s more offbeat, politically charged narratives.
