Balance, bib, donkey, cockroach, cafteur, saucepan, donor, spinner, fly, sheep, mock, mole, uncle, amigo or even cousin. There is a host of words in banditry or police slang to speak of police informants. The comic strip we are talking about today was published by Glénat and is called "Gost111". Immerse yourself in the world of indics.

His name is Goran, he was a delivery driver, lived with his mother and daughter in a low-cost housing in the Paris region. We can not say that he was happy, but hey, he lived his life. Then one day, Goran lost his driver's license, then his job. So he accepted a job well paid, not very honest, but hey, it was just to get by. But Goran got caught, in possession of no less than 120 kilos of shit. "  You have a head that pleases misfortune,  " said the cop who cooks him, Inspector Alex Lemaître. He has a good rascal face, cheerful and without too many scruples. So Mr. Alex gives Goran a choice: either it's the jail, or you help us and you give us news. And Goran's life will change, and turn into a real descent into hell. It will become “Gost111”, the title of this comic book album published by Glénat. In the drawing, Marion Mousse. But it is the two screenwriters, Mark Eacersall and Henri Scala (pseudonym of a commissioner passed by the investigation services) , who are with us to present us this black but colorful thriller, riddled with crackling bullets, threats, blackmail and other settling of scores, and beautiful faces as we like them.
