Het Parijs der wonderen #2

Wrapped in sumptuous Art Nouveau flourishes, the cover of this 2024 Dutch-language volume from Dark Dragon Books immediately draws the eye to a striking woman in an elaborate purple gown and wide-brimmed pink hat, striding forward with an air of elegant authority. Flanking her are two memorable companions — a stout, grey-cloaked figure looming behind and a smaller, sharp-featured man armed with a pistol in the foreground — all set against a gleaming fantastical cityscape. With cover art by Étienne Willem and the conclusion of "De betoveringen van Ambremer" promised in the subtitle, Het Parijs der wonderen #2 looks to be a gloriously stylish finish to this magical Parisian adventure by Pierre Pevel and Ben Kamphuis.
