L'Assassin qu'elle mérite #3

The third volume of Lupano and Corboz's L'Assassin qu'elle mérite arrives with a subtitled chapter — "Les attractions coupables" — that already hints at dangerous desires. Corboz's cover sets a beautifully atmospheric scene: a elegantly dressed woman in red glides across a wooden bridge, parasol raised, while a solitary dark-coated figure lingers in the misty background among reeds and still water. Published by Vents d'Ouest in 2014, this Franco-Belgian series wears its Belle Époque mood with real style.
