Après la nuit #[nn]

A lone gunslinger stands in a vast golden field beneath a brooding, storm-grey sky, the silhouette of a bare, skeletal tree rising beside him — it's a haunting image that sets the mood for this French Western from Meunier, Guérineau, and Hédon, published by Delcourt in 2008. The title Après la nuit ("After the Night") promises a story steeped in atmosphere, and the cover delivers that sense of solitude and quiet tension beautifully. Fans of moody, European-style Westerns will find this one hard to pass up.
