Harry Dickson #2

The second volume in Dupuis's 2024 Belgian adaptation of Jean Ray's beloved Harry Dickson series, "Het Schriktribunaal" promises atmosphere in abundance. Catacchio's cover art places three determined figures — a trench-coated hero at center, a younger companion brandishing both a pistol and a flashlight at his side, and a stern naval officer flanking them — against a shadowy backdrop of gnarled red and blue branches, all dominated by an ominous glowing-eyed specter looming in the darkness above. It's a striking composition that captures the pulpy tension of Ray's classic detective world with a thoroughly modern hand.
