''Albany & Sturgess'' (1977-) is a French-Belgian comic book series by Jean-Claude Floc'h and François Rivière, and considered the best contemporary example of the use of the ''ligne claire'' style popularized in the [[TheGreatDepression 1930s]] by Hergé (creator of ''{{Tintin}}'').
The series is in fact a loose collection of stories--mostly murder mysteries--whose common thread is the appearance, as supporting characters or narrators, of two fictional figures of the British literary world, writer Olivia Sturgess and critic Francis Albany. It's eventually revealed that all said stories were in fact written by Sturgess herself.
----
!!Contains examples of:
* AlternateContinuity: In "A la recherche de Sir Malcolm", Albany and Sturgess know each other as children and are among the passengers onboard the ''Titanic''. But in "Olivia Sturgess 1914-2004", it's explained that they met as adults in 1938, and in any case Sturgess's date of birth is two years after the sinking of the famous ship.
* AmateurSleuth: Both main characters, and other one-shot protagonists.
* BobHaircut: Sturgess spends her entire adult life sporting a haircut inspired by Louise Brooks.
* ContinuityPorn: Apart from the aforementioned exception, "Olivia Sturgess 1914-2004" is one long exercize in ContinuityPorn. And it works beautifully, too.
* DreamSequence: A suitably nightmarish one in "Le Rendez-vous de Sevenoaks".
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Subverted. Albany and Sturgess are very much in a non-romantic lifelong relationship, but that's because each of them is in fact homosexual.
* MindScrew: "Le Rendez-vous de Sevenoaks" has a narrative structure inspired by the works of JorgeLuisBorges.
* {{Mockumentary}}: "Olivia Sturgess 1914-2004" takes the form of a documentary about Sturgess's life.
* NobodyOver50IsGay: Averted with both characters.
* ShoutOut: An AlfredHitchcock lookalike briefly appears in "A la recherche de Sir Malcolm", the way Hitchcock liked to do in his own films. And a page of "Black Out" is a reference to a collaborative project by Hergé and Edgar P. Jacobs (of ''BlakeAndMortimer'' fame).
* ShowWithinTheShow: "Underground" depicts the shooting of a movie. And the entire series was retroactively presented as so many stories within the story in "Olivia Sturgess 1914-2004".
* SpecialGuest: In "Le Dossier Harding", the two heroes have a cup of tea in the company of AgathaChristie. And in "Olivia Sturgess 1914-2004", various other literary figures and artists have cameos: Noel Coward, Somerset Maugham, Charlotte Rampling, etc...
