The first of Jacques Tardi's graphic novel adaptations of legendary French crime writer Léo Malet s Nestor Burma novels here, Burma avenges the death of an old anarchist friend
Paris, 1950s. In this graphic novel adaptation, Nestor Burma's past comes knocking when Belita, a young woman, leads him to the Salpetriere hospital, where he discovers the recently deceased Abel Benoit, an old buddy from his anarchist days. While Burma has chosen to move onto the (more or less) straight and narrow as a private eye, his friend had stayed on the other side of the law as a counterfeiter and worse, until his own past caught up with him - lethally. So now it's up to Malet to avenge his friend, and hopefully unravel a mystery whose roots run far and deep back into the past...

Fog Over Tolbiac Bridge is the first of four major graphic novels adapted by Tardi from the legandary French crime writer Léo Malet's original Nestor Burma novels, each set in Paris. Tardi's usual obsessive visual research gives it a uniquely personal, authentic quality. Tardi's adaptation is a cracking good detective yarn and a milestone in comics history.
