Yer right. I stand corrected. But I think the books were
published in France. Or at least I discovered them through
French editions.
But like I said, yer right. Montreal would, naturally, carry
the French editions, but the entire European crime comic
industry is well worth a peek. I've occasionally spotted
Spanish, Italian and even Norwegian crime comics that make
DC/Vertigo's line occasionally seem about as dangerous as a
Gold Key Love Bug tie-in.
