L'Agence #3

Set against the mist-shrouded ruins of Machu Picchu, this 2008 Casterman release from Bartoll and Legrain sends two determined agents — a sharp-eyed blonde woman and a rugged man in a safari hat — into the heart of the Andes beneath the watchful emblem of the United Nations. Dossier Machu Picchu promises the kind of globe-trotting intrigue that makes the Ligne Rouge imprint such a reliable source of stylish adventure comics. The lush jungle setting and the duo's alert, ready-for-anything poses make this third volume of L'Agence a compelling addition to any Franco-Belgian comics shelf.
