L'homme qui corrompit Hadleyburg #[nn]

A tall, top-hatted stranger stands with his back to us, cane in hand, surveying a bare autumnal street beneath a cold teal sky — Wander Antunes's cover adaptation of Mark Twain's sharp moral fable radiates quiet menace and elegant dread. The silhouetted figure carries a mysterious bag, autumn leaves drifting around him as the sleeping town of Hadleyburg waits, unsuspecting, in the background. Published by La Boîte à Bulles in 2022, this French-language graphic adaptation promises a beautifully atmospheric take on Twain's timeless story of greed and reputation.
