Maigret

In the early 1990s, Belgian publisher Lefrancq adapted Georges Simenon's classic detective stories into a concise four-issue comic series simply titled Maigret. This European graphic novel series brought the iconic Parisian police commissioner to the sequential art page, with the series most associated with the moody, atmospheric artwork of Philippe Wurm and the script of Odile Reynaud. Though brief, Maigret stands as a faithful, stylish translation of Simenon's beloved literary universe into the comics medium.
