Irrécupérable #3

The third volume of Delcourt's French edition of Irrécupérable, subtitled "Secrets," arrives with a cover by Paul Renaud that immediately commands attention: a dark-clad young woman stands in the foreground amid a field of skulls, while a towering red-and-gold costumed figure looms behind her against a smoldering, amber-lit cityscape. The contrast between the two figures — one grounded and haunted, the other imposing and otherworldly — sets a tone of dread and uneasy power that feels perfectly at home in this 2012 release.
