Zum Abschuss freigegeben

In this stark 2011 one-shot from Edition Moderne, Jacques Tardi adapts Jean-Patrick Manchette's brutal crime novel into a taut graphic thriller. Tardi's signature scratchy, expressive linework brings a grimly atmospheric vision to Manchette's story of a hitman on a violent, fateful job. A key entry in the European crime-comics tradition, it showcases two masters of French noir collaborating at the peak of their powers.
