Swiss blogger Christoph Roos likes to remind me of the
fascination that the Old West and westerns hold for folks on his side of the
Atlantic. Recently he sent me this cover from a French graphic novel series featuring
the Pinkerton detective agency. The work is the brainchild of Remí Guerin
(story) and Damour (design).
In the first of them, published last year, the story is told of the effort to track
down and capture the James gang. The novel seems to adhere to history, though based
on familiar material as we know it from the movies (the assault by Pinkerton agents on the James
family home to the killing of Jesse by Bob Ford).
This year saw publication of the second series, Dossier
Abraham Lincoln, which gives an account of
Allan Pinkerton’s successful attempt to foil an assassination plot against
Lincoln before he takes office as the newly elected president. Known as the
Baltimore Plot, the Guerin-Damour treatment of it is described by one reviewer
as a cleverly conceived play on historical fact.
For sample pages from Dossier Jesse James, go here. (Click on the cover to open.)

I may go looking for one of these. Maybe it would help in learning the language.
