L'Ombre de Shanghai #4

The fourth chapter of L'Ombre de Shanghai — subtitled "Pris au Piège" — arrives with a striking cover that immediately sets a mood of mystery and hidden power. Dominating the image is a confident young woman in a red qipao-style top, dramatic theatrical makeup, and a staff slung across her back, her long hair sweeping dramatically as she gazes down at two smaller figures seated before a moody Shanghai skyline at dusk. Crépin, Marty, and Li Lu craft a beautifully layered composition that balances quiet tension below with a commanding, almost supernatural presence above — a wonderful invitation to dive into this French-language adventure series.
