Aristophania #2

The second volume of Dorison and Parnotte's Aristophania arrives with a cover that commands attention: a gaunt, top-hatted figure seated on a crate like a dark sovereign, surrounded by looming industrial forms and ghostly pale shapes that drift through the shadows behind him. Parnotte's moody, painterly linework gives the scene a genuinely unsettling atmosphere — part Victorian menace, part fever dream. "Progredientes" promises that this French-language series from Dargaud is pushing its gothic mystery further into fascinating territory.
