Vito

Éric Stalner both writes and illustrates this three-issue crime series from Daedalus, co-written with Kris De Saeger and published between 2014 and 2016. The story follows the rise of a young gangster in 1920s New York, a period when Prohibition turned the city into a battleground for bootleggers and mobsters. Stalner's moody, detailed artwork brings the era's smoky speakeasies and violent street corners to life, grounding the narrative in a gritty historical realism. A compact, atmospheric entry in European crime comics, Vito offers a focused glimpse into the making of a mobster.
