Holmes #3

A lone silhouetted figure stands in a darkened doorway, backlit by a pale, unsettling glow — it's a masterfully atmospheric cover from Cecil that sets a brooding, suspenseful tone for L'ombre du doute ("The Shadow of Doubt"). This third volume of the Holmes (1854/†1891?) series, published by Futuropolis in 2012, leans deep into shadow and dread, with Cecil's moody artwork doing all the heavy lifting to draw you into the mystery. First editions of this printing include a bonus cahier graphique, making this particular release a treat for anyone who wants a closer look at the art behind the atmosphere.
