Beauté noire et le groupe Prospéro #2

A sun-drenched North African streetscape sets the mood for this second volume from Simsolo, Nicloux, and Balez — *Les Cruels* opens with a striking cover that places a determined woman in an orange dress front and center, while two silhouetted figures loom in a luminous alleyway behind her, palm trees and a minaret framing the scene. Balez's cover art balances warmth and menace beautifully, with a graphic palette of burnt orange and shadowy blues that feels both cinematic and distinctly stylish. Glénat's *Beauté Noire et le groupe Prospéro* continues to look like one of the most visually arresting French thriller series of 2019.
