Black

In this short but striking three-issue series from 2004–2005, published jointly by Vertige graphic and Coconino Press, Black unfolds as a moody, visually driven crime story. The series is best known for its collaboration between writer and artist, though specific creators are not detailed here. Its stark, atmospheric art and lean narrative offer a taut, noir-inflected reading experience that stands out in the European comics landscape of the mid-2000s.
