Halloween #[nn]

From Les Humanoïdes Associés comes this atmospheric 1998 French album, Halloween, crafted by O. G. Boiscommun. The cover sets a wonderfully eerie mood: a skull-faced, robed figure stands beside a pale, horned being who appears to materialize from swirling smoke on a dimly lit cobblestone street, with a glowing jack-o'-lantern flickering in a window behind them. It's a hauntingly elegant piece of bande dessinée art that blends the macabre with a strangely intimate sense of companionship.
