Arsène Lupin - L'aiguille creuse #[nn]

This elegant adaptation of Maurice Leblanc's celebrated novel brings the gentleman burglar Arsène Lupin to the comics page, with the cover beautifully composing his silhouette — top hat, monocle, and billowing cape — against the striking coastal rock formations of the Normandy coast, home to the legendary hollow needle itself. The clean, graphic linework by Michaël Minerbe, colored by Delf, gives the whole image a wonderfully stylish, almost Art Deco sensibility that suits Lupin's refined mystique perfectly. A handsome 2018 volume from OREP Editions for anyone who loves classic French adventure and the thrill of an unsolvable mystery.
