Effroyable Shermann #[nn]

A skeletal, cloaked figure looms dramatically over a motley crew of characters in this French-language adventure from Ankama — the ominous blue-toned specter wielding a hooked weapon sets a wonderfully macabre seafaring tone. Palloni and Marsili bring a lively cast to the foreground, including a stout woman, a green-faced figure, and a bespectacled gentleman against a rocky coastal backdrop with ships on the water. Effroyable Shermann looks like a richly atmospheric swashbuckling tale with just the right dash of the uncanny.
