Streets of Paris, Streets of Murder: The Complete Noir of Manchette and Tardi Vol. 2 by Jean-Patrick Manchette, Jacques Tardi

5.0

Think I liked these two stories (Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot and Run Like Crazy, Run Like Hell) more than the Manchette novels they're based on (The Prone Gunman and The Mad and the Bad). Think it's because these two are further away from crime fiction and and have more heightened elements (contract killers, assassination plots, etc) and the art helps ground it all, make it seem plausible? I dunno. Also I can't remember if the ending is changed between Prone/Like a Sniper, but certainly the ending came off as more plausible here. Whereas the first the first time around I wasn't as sold on it.
