Canardo

Canardo, a long-running Franco-Belgian series launched in 1979 by Pepperland, follows the hard-boiled, chain-smoking detective duck through a world of noir-tinged anthropomorphic animal characters. Created by Benoît Sokal, the series is celebrated for its lush, atmospheric watercolor art and cynical, understated storytelling that blends crime, melancholy, and dark humor. With a single issue currently listed, the series has remained a cult favorite for its distinctive European comic sensibility and Sokal's singular vision.
