Valmont

In this compact two-issue series from Panini Deutschland, writer and artist Matthias Schultheiss reimagines the classic Valmont archetype as a modern-day art forger navigating the treacherous galleries of Europe. Published from 2013 onward, the series distills Schultheiss's trademark blend of psychological tension and sleek visual storytelling into a tight, atmospheric thriller. Though brief, Valmont stands as a sharp, self-contained character study from a German comics veteran.
