Inhaltsangabe

(W) Jacques Tardi, Jean-Patrick Manchette (A/CA) Jacques Tardi After the teeth-rattling one-two punch of West Coast Blues and Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot, Jacques Tardi makes a third appointment with ace crime writer Jean- Patrick Manchette for his wildest adaptation yet. A tale of mendacity and heroism, Run Like Crazy... is full of moments of pitch-black humor with a strong current of socio-political satire beneath its bleak surface. It's a ride to hell, but a devilishly fun one.

Críticas

...[A] fantastic series of chase scenes, reversals, close calls on both ends, betrayals and surprising new allies. Through it all, Tardi's figure work, fluid panel-to-panel transitions and mastery of using backgrounds to enhance rather than detract from a narrative dominate the story.--Rob Clough

The maniacs in this comic don't even give you a chance to breathe, it just ramps up and starts rolling.--A.J. McGuire

Tardi's atmospheric visuals, with their inky line work and solid compositions, are perfectly suited to Manchette's noirish milieu. The cartooniness of his figures, juxtaposed against the soundly realistic settings, perfectly matches the matter-of-factly over-the-top nature of this blackest of mordantly comedic capers.--Gordon Flagg

Each page looks besmirched with the muck and grime of the French countryside -- or, eventually, with brains, blood and gnarly bits of bone. The book's centrepiece, a chaotic chase scene through a crowded town square and supermarket, reads like a master class in comic-book storytelling. This is a fine, tough, bloody one.--Sean Rogers

The whole work drips with style and that hardboiled 70s crime feeling - you could easily imagine this with a suitable soundtrack as a storyboard for a Tarantino movie. It cracks along at a great pace... A fabulous, hard, tough crime fiction ride, perfectly depicted by Tardi.--Joe Gordon

Run Like Crazy Run Like Hell is a fine introduction to the works of both Tardi (the cartoonist) and Manchette (the novelist), ...[and] has the immediacy and tense back-breaking sense of dread and revulsion that should be familiar to Manchette fans. For Tardi fans, here's yet another example that the old master has lost little - if any - of his trademark flair for crafting deep, thrilling, and often violent entertainment.--Nathan Evans

Reseña del editor

Jacques Tardi adapts ace crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette for the third time in Run Like Crazy Run Like Hell. Michel Hartog, a rich industrialist, hires a young woman, Julie, straight out of the psychiatric asylum to work as a nanny for his bratty nephew Peter. But Hartog plans to stage a fake kidnapping of his nephew and use Julie as a scapegoat. Unfortunately for Hartog, Julie proves infinitely more tough and resourceful than he expected, the kidnapping goes horribly, bloodily wrong, and now Julie and Peter are on the run, pursued both by the police and by Hartog's goons, led by the aging but fantastically dangerous contract killer Thompson.
