Zigomar? Yes, because the media success of this forgotten mysterious criminal (nowadays only his name is remembered) has made him a model for Souvestre and Allain. Léon Sazie is even more forgotten. It is high time to sum up what we know about him. And high time to replace that type (the absolute criminal) in its historical context and remind the commotion Zigomar had on his readership.
