Killing Velazquez #[nn]

Philippe Girard's Killing Velazquez from Conundrum Press presents a quietly unsettling image: a modest residential house rendered in deep red tones, its single lit window glowing warmly against the otherwise stark facade. That tension between ordinary domesticity and the charged title gives this 2011 graphic novel an immediate sense of dread lurking beneath the everyday. Girard handles every line, ink, and color himself, and the result is a deeply personal visual mood that draws you in from the very first glance.
