La brigade du rail #4

A man sprints gun in hand along a railway track as a massive SNCF electric locomotive (numbered 202-9105) bears down with sparks flying — the cover of this fourth La Brigade du Rail installment crackles with kinetic urgency. Subtitled L'Inconnue du Paris-Marseille, the issue promises intrigue aboard one of France's most storied rail lines, with the creative team of Marniquet, Jolivet, and Le Capon delivering a thriller steeped in the atmosphere of French railway culture. It's a 2016 entry in the series that wears its tension right on its sleeve.
