Jerome K. Jerome Bloche Vol. 1: The Shadow Killer by Alain Dodier
First installment in a series about an endearingly clumsy young private eye, who scoots around Paris on his motorbike, more Will Ferrell than Humphrey Bogart. Translated into English for the first time Wearing an old trenchcoat and his indispensable felt hat, the 20-year-old J r me tries to look the part of a seasoned sleuth. By day he translates detective novels and fantasizes about being one. By night he's enrolled in Professor Maison's correspondence course for would-be private eyes. His girlfriend, Babette, is a flight attendant who brings him recordings for his collection of police sirens from around the world. It's a happy--if not particularly promising--existence, until his first case. In the past two months, fifteen people in Paris have been killed by poisoned darts. All the witnesses saw was a feathered shadow and a blowgun. The job of capturing the flamboyant assassin is entrusted to J r me by Professor Maison. Things get off to a rocky start, however, when the professor appears to be victim number sixteen
Alain Dodier was born in Dunkirk, France, in 1955 and has no memory of a time without comics. He drew for comics fanzines in the early 1970s and sold his first professional work in 1977. His friendship with Pierre Makyo led to two series: the humorous Gully and, in 1982, the more realistic Jü¾Ž–”¼rü¾†˜¼me K. Jü¾Ž–”¼rü¾†˜¼me Bloche. Alain has drawn more than two dozen Jerome stories and, after the first few stories, began writing them, too. His work on Jü¾Ž–”¼rü¾†˜¼me K. Jü¾Ž–”¼rü¾†˜¼me Bloche has earned him two awards at the Angoulü¾˜–”¼me International Comics Festival, one for Best Series and one for Best Youth Series.
