Details: A February day in Paris, 1975. During a bank robbery, a shootout occurs between police and professional criminals, in which one of the gangsters loses his life and his cronies barely escape. Another method to relieve financial institutions is needed - and the solution seems so simple: while all other bank robbers in the world still march into banks with stockings over their faces, the "false faces gang" begins to disguise themselves with wigs, false beards, and make-up, deceiving not only the on-site security personnel but also the police with this masquerade. While their pursuers are in the dark, the "false faces" are stylized as heroes not only in underworld circles. Inspired by true cases, the French jack-of-all-trades David B. and the cartoonist Hervé Tanquerelle keep the tradition of Roman noir alive in comics, masterfully capturing the zeitgeist of the 1970s and the atmosphere of French thrillers with Alain Delon and company. "A fast-paced bandit story and a real insider tip" (Basler Buchtipp/Tages Woche)
