About The Book

A gritty, parodic adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beloved French Humorist Yves Chaland. For the first time ever in English.

The son of a wealthy businessman has been kidnapped by criminals, and the case is entrusted to Detective Bob Fish. Attractive, reckless, and also a little macho, he's an advocate of strong-arm tactics. In the course of his investigation, he crosses paths with Albert, a Brussels boy who has valuable information about the kidnapping...

Part gritty parody, part mischievous homage to the pulps of the '50s, this Bob Fish investigation revisits the conventions of genre comics. Yves Chaland plays with the clichés and archetypes of detective stories, pushing them to the limit. The result is utterly jubilant, and graphically breathtaking.

About The Author

Yves Chaland was a French cartoonist born in 1957 in Lyon, who was a master of the ligne-clair style. He helped launch the nostalgic 1950s Atomic style in Franco-Belgian comics in the 1980s. He created the characters of Freddy Lombard, and Young Albert, a mischievous boy living in a working-class area of Brussels. He also designed many advertising campaigns in his crisp, clean, "retro-modern" cartoon style. In 1990, Chaland died in a tragic car accident. After his death, several books with his illustrations and unfinished stories have been published.
