Jerome K. Jerome Bloks #17

The seventeenth volume of Dodier's Jerome K. Jerome Bloks opens on a quietly tense scene: three figures — a man in a wide-brimmed hat and glasses, a composed woman in a blue jacket, and a younger man in a leather coat — share the close quarters of a car's back seat, a yellow taxi visible through the window behind them. The mood is understated but charged, with Dodier's clean, expressive linework giving each face its own guarded story. Published by Dupuis in 2003 under the Spotlight imprint, this is the kind of European crime-tinged storytelling that rewards patient readers who appreciate atmosphere over spectacle.
