Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche

Alain Dodier’s long-running Belgian series for Dupuis follows a gentle, observant private detective whose cases unfold with quiet charm and psychological depth. Co-written at various points by Makyo and Serge Le Tendre, the strip has been defined by Dodier’s clean ligne claire art and its grounding in everyday human drama rather than noir violence. Since 1985, the series has built a loyal readership for its warm, character-driven mysteries set in a recognizably modern world.
