George Gerfaut, a young executive and family man, is thrown into a world of violence and danger after witnessing a murder. He finds himself on the run with an exiled war criminal and two hired assassins hot on his trail. With surprising ease, Gerfaut leaves behind his comfortable life to navigate this new, dangerous reality. Along the way, he gains a new ally and together they seek revenge with brutal and bloody consequences.
"West Coast Blues" (Le Petit bleu de la côte ouest) was released in 2005 and is Tardis' adaptation of a popular 1976 novel by French crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette. Tardis' unique style breathes new life into Manchette's dark story, infusing it with a malevolent energy that is both gripping and intense. The graphic novel doesn't hold back on the gritty details, while still managing to inject humor into the story, especially through the banter between the two killers tracking Gerfaut.
This is the kind of graphic novel that would captivate Quentin Tarantino and thrill any fan of gritty crime fiction. It's a wild ride that will leave you on the edge of your seat, craving more. Get ready for a thrilling adventure filled with twists, turns, and plenty of action. Get your hands on "West Coast Blues" and prepare for a wild ride through the world of crime and revenge.
