Fog Over Tolbiac Bridge: A Nestor Burma Mystery

Fog Over Tolbiac Bridge is the first of four major graphic novels adapted by Tardi from the legendary French crime writer Léo Malet's original Nestor Burma novels. Tardi's stylish use of mechanical gray tones provides the book with a lovely period feel which, combined with Tardi's usual obsessive visual research, gives it a uniquely personal, authentic quality. Tardi's adaptation is a cracking good detective yarn and a milestone in comics history.
