LA Times article about Pierre Dragon

Here's an interesting article from the LA Times about a comic book from France (or bande dessinee, as they call them there) that stars a police intelligence operative who prowls the shadowy backstreets of Paris in search of terrorists. And it looks like there was even a real life inspiration for the hero as well, a veteran of commando units of Spanish descent who did undercover work in the North African/Islamic underworlds. What American companies are failing to show the guts to tackle, it appears that French companies by contrast are willing to work on.
