Arq #13

The thirteenth chapter of Andreas's long-running Arq series arrives from Delcourt with a cover as visually arresting as ever. A split composition places two strikingly different faces side by side — a brooding human figure on a warm yellow ground and a gaunt, spiky-featured figure rendered in cool blue — set against an intricate black-and-white tangle of foliage. Subtitled Détectives, this 2010 volume promises the kind of atmospheric, dueling-perspectives storytelling that has made Andreas's work such a distinctive presence in Franco-Belgian comics.
