Hammett #[nn]
This volume collects the complete 1996 French graphic novel series 'Hammett,' published by Glénat. The story offers a fictionalized account of the life and hard-boiled crime writing of legendary author Dashiell Hammett, exploring his experiences as a Pinkerton detective and his later career in Hollywood. The series is known for its moody, period-accurate artwork and its atmospheric tribute to the noir genre Hammett helped define.
In "Hammett," Dashiell Hammett navigates a shadowy America from the 1920s to the 1950s, moving between Montana and New York as he confronts theft, blood crimes, anticommunism, and the hunt for wooblies—while facing a femme fatale, lynching, and deep corruption. Written by Jean Dufaux and illustrated with stark precision by Marc Malès, this story blends mystery and historical tension in a world where truth is as dangerous as the secrets it exposes. The cover, also by Marc Malès, captures the noir atmosphere with its brooding, inked intensity.
