Feb 22, Mohammed Arabey rated it really liked it Shelves: articles-short-stories-and-comics. View all 4 comments. Oct 30, C. Hall rated it it was amazing. With art that is both fanciful and moody an Gil Jordan balance of tonal qualities, when you think about it and writing that is humorous without undermining the excitement and mystery of the stories contained herein, it's no wonder the Gil Jordan strip is so highly regarded among fans of Francophone comics. Tillieux's art seems to straddle a line between the cartoony "bigfoot" style of the Marcinelle school and the clean but realistic schematic style of the Ligne Claire school, and the combination is pure magic. Heartily recommended to both fans of Franco-Belgian comics and to Gil Jordan curious as to the full potential of the expressive cartoon stylings Private Eye: Murder by High Tide no longer see in mainstream American comics. It might not appeal to all tastes especially Gil Jordan who, reared on American comics, might have difficulty getting past the cartoony style being used in an adventure stripbut the craftsmanship is almost without peer.

This is another double volume of adventures starring the Parisian private detective, and the second of only two English-language versions currently available. Having enjoyed the first, I bought this right away and was excited to read it, but also reluctant, as I knew no more stories would be forthcoming The titular story concerns an art dealer who is drowned, along with his car, on Devil's Strait — a beach road where bad timi This is another double volume of adventures starring the Parisian private detective, and the second of only two English-language versions currently available. The titular story concerns an art dealer who is drowned, along with his car, on Devil's Strait — a beach road where bad timing can lead to the tides dragging you to your doom. But was it a tragic accident, or a murder? This is followed by "Catch As Catch Can", wherein a dangerous convict mysteriously escapes from prison by seemingly just jumping right over an eight-foot wall. During his trial, he swore to kill the lawyer who had him put away: will he follow through on his threat? Inspector Crouton has a Gil Jordan presence in this book — his benign bumbling complimenting both Crackerjack's I still prefer "Dragonfly"! Even Miss Midge gets a few extra scenes here and there! There are some incredible action moments in this album — particularly our heroes' own perilous experience at Devil's Strait in the former story, and Jordan's many scrapes with death as he becomes a target in the latter. You can even tell where the original strips stopped on a cliffhanger, and despite the next page being right there, some of them still make you draw in breath and get the pulse racing. Humour remains very present, however. Whilst it never detracts Private Eye: Murder by High Tide the tension, it creates lighter moments in between the action scenes that counter them very well, and they flesh out the characters in an amusing yet believable manner. Oct 28, Tony rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-storytellingcrimesetting-francetranslated-fiction. In addition to the titular adventure, there's another one called "Catch as Catch Can. He is assisted by his wisecracking sidekick Crackerjack it's not explained in these two stories, but he's actually an ex-con whom Gil befriended in the first book in the seriesand the clumsy police inspector Crouton. Rounding out the group is a sophisticated no-nonsense secretary. Both Gil Jordan a nice balance of action and intrigue, with the hero getting outwitted multiple times along the way and almost killed.
