In the 1990s and 2000s several novels by Agatha Christie were adapted into graphic novels in French, first by Éditions Claude Lefranc and then after 2000 by Éditions Emmanuel Proust. The earlier titles were mainly adapted by François Rivière with artwork by Frank Leclercq. Altogether there were 24 titles.

From 2007 onwards, Eurocomics India working with HarperCollins released English language translations for 21 of the titles. The English versions had a different cover design and their titles reverted to those normally used on English editions of the source Christie novel.
