There are, of course, some WONDERFUL adaptations of the
Nestor Burma stories into comics form by the incomparable
Jacques Tardi. These were originally printed in French but
several of the titles are available in English. I've never
read a Malet novel, but the comics are superb--Tardi does a
magnificent job capturing the feel of Paris, especially its
architecture, and I am told that Malet heartily approved of
the comics adaptations.
