That comic isn't wordless but nearly so. There's more plot, too: The family of the main protagonist is killed, the "hero" is able to track the vicious perpetrators down and kills them violently, with one villain going down in flames. It's a very brutal, shocking and ultimately dubious story. A short internet research didn't bring up much background but one reader of the German edition of "L'Aimez Vous..." claims that Hermann was influenced by the Charles Bronson vehicle "Death Wish".<BR/><BR/>I suppose there aren't any direct influeces between "The Private Eye" and "L'Aimez Vous...", it's most likely just overlapping tropes of popular fiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-67221583991478690302007-09-10T12:12:00.000-04:002007-09-10T12:12:00.000-04:00Yeah, I figured it out through the wonders of the ...Yeah, I figured it out through the wonders of the 'net. It's fun to research! Though I know the answer, I do want to comment that I see a bit of Steranko influenece in that particular piece.
