Jeu de dames #2

Cold War intrigue radiates from this second volume of Jeu de Dames, as a sharp-suited man in a fedora and trenchcoat strides purposefully alongside a wary blonde woman — all set against a vivid orange backdrop of top-secret documents and what appear to be missile schematics. The tension between the two figures feels palpable, hinting at a spy thriller steeped in shadowy alliances and dangerous secrets. By Toldac and Philan, this 2016 Grand Angle release promises the kind of sleek, suspenseful bande dessinée storytelling that fans of classic espionage fiction will find hard to put down.
