L'Ombre de Shanghai #2

The second chapter of L'Ombre de Shanghai arrives with this striking 2015 Éditions Fei release, subtitled Le Fantôme de l'Opéra — and the cover sets an atmospheric scene perfectly suited to that title. A young woman with flowing teal hair leaps dynamically in the foreground, framed by an ornate oval border, while behind her looms a grand opera house advertising a production of Turandot, complete with an elegant theatrical poster. Created by Crépin and Marty with art by Li Lu, this Franco-Belgian album blends the glamour of Shanghai's golden age with a sense of mystery that feels genuinely hard to resist.
