A new noir tale from longstanding French comics writer Jaques Tardi. West Coast Blues is a superb balance of elegant storytelling and emotional complexity, the lead character Gerfaut drawn into a world away from his family and his work, as an act of kindness brings him to the attention of an organised criminal group. The story is one of masculine identity, of the value of homelife and the everyday job in contrast with an idealised life of adventure and danger.
