(H/B) FOG OVER TOLBIAC BRIDGE

Παρουσίαση

Paris, 1950s. Nestor Burma's past comes knocking when a young gypsy woman leads him to a hospital where he discovers a recently deceased old buddy from his anarchist days. While Burma has chosen to move onto the (more or less) straight and narrow as a private eye, his friend had stayed on the other side of the law as a counterfeiter and worse. So now it's up to Burma to avenge his friend, keep the girl safe, and hopefully unravel a mystery whose roots run far and deep back into the past... Fog Over Tolbiac Bridge is the first of four major graphic novels adapted by Tardi from the legendary French crime writer Leo Malet's original Nestor Burma novels, each set in Paris. Tardi's stylish use of mechanical gray tones provides the book with a lovely period feel which, combined with Tardi's usual obsessive visual research, gives it a uniquely personal, authentic quality. Tardi's adaptation is a cracking good detective yarn and a milestone in comics history. (From the publisher)
