L'Ombre de Shanghai #6

The sixth and final chapter of L'Ombre de Shanghai arrives with a cover that sets a striking mood: two figures — a blond Westerner in a rust-red cape and heavy coat, walking stick in hand, and a companion in a traditional conical hat — press forward against a sweeping, snow-blanketed mountain landscape. Crépin and Marty's storytelling and Li Lu's artwork give the scene a quiet, windswept tension that feels fitting for an album subtitled Le Sacrifice. Published by Les Éditions Fei in 2017, this concluding volume looks like a compelling, atmospheric end to the series.
