Illustrierte Klassiker #241

Illustrierte Klassiker brings Wilkie Collins' beloved mystery Der Mondstein to life in this German-language adaptation, part of the long-running series dedicated to bringing world literature's most gripping stories to comics readers. L. B. Cole's cover sets an atmospheric, almost ceremonial mood: a massive seated idol clutching flaming torches dominates the scene, its radiant brow glowing with an eerie light, while robed and turbaned figures gathered below look on — one blue-cloaked figure reaching upward in apparent supplication or alarm. It's a striking image that captures the exotic, suspenseful spirit of Collins' classic tale perfectly.
