review:
'Vice Squad Volume 1' by Zidrou with art by Jordi Lafebre is about a fish out of water who joins a new department in his police squad.
The book is framed by it's present which is taking place in the shelters underneath Paris as the Germans are bombing the city. Aime Louzeau is reminded of his time working in the Vice Squad. He didn't want to join the department, and he gets coerced into it. He is so straitlaced and his fellow officers, as he finds out, are corrupted by the crimes they are supposed to be stopping. Will Aime stay vigilant and uncorrupted?
The story is probably not going to be for everyone, and I'm not sure I'm that fond of it, but the art and story work very well together. I'm reminded of the Philippe Noiret film, My New Partner in tone.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
