About the series
In the gritty, ink-washed streets of a nameless metropolis, Alack Sinner follows its weary, trench-coated detective through a long-running series of hard-boiled cases that blurred the line between crime noir and political commentary. Published by Casterman from 1983 to 2006 across seven issues, the series is most indelibly shaped by artist José Muñoz, whose dense, expressionistic linework gave the world-weary protagonist and his shadowy city a visceral, unforgettable texture. A landmark in European comics, it stands as a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, where every rain-slicked panel feels heavy with the weight of a broken world.
