L'abbé noir #[nn]

This 2011 release from Arbitraire brings readers L'abbé noir, a French-language work whose title — "The Black Abbot" — hints at dark, atmospheric storytelling steeped in mystery and shadow. With no cover image available to examine, the intrigue lives entirely in that evocative title and the publisher's willingness to venture into moody, unconventional territory. A compelling addition to any collection of Franco-Belgian comics exploring the darker corners of narrative fiction.
