Emergence
The idea for the Sisco comic series came from senarist Benec, who was inspired by reading a book about François Mitterrand . François de Grossouvre , an adviser to the President, died in the Elysée Palace during the reign of Mitterrand . Whether it was a murder or suicide was controversial at the time. The first volume of the comic series begins with a similar scene where Sisco kills a government adviser, making it look like a suicide.
