Agatha Christie #16

Agatha Christie's beloved Belgian detective takes center stage on this 2009 Emmanuel Proust adaptation, rendered in clean, expressive ligne claire style. The cover shows a dapper, mustachioed Hercule Poirot seated at a card table, holding playing cards with a champagne flute nearby and a warm fireplace glowing behind him — perfectly evoking the elegant, high-stakes atmosphere of *Cartes sur table*. Frank Leclercq's artwork captures Poirot's shrewd, penetrating gaze with quiet confidence, making this a handsome addition to the French graphic novel series.
