L'Héritage du Diable #2

A sleek, black-clad femme fatale dominates this striking 2011 French-language album from Bamboo Édition — cigarette in hand, draped in fur, she stands coolly before what appears to be a chest overflowing with bones or treasure, lit by a single dramatic spotlight. Gostine & Félix deliver a mood that is pure noir elegance in Le Secret du Mont Saint-Michel, the second chapter of L'Héritage du Diable. If atmospheric mystery and dangerous glamour are your style, this volume announces its intentions right on the cover.
