La ligue des Gentlemen Extraordinaires - Le dossier noir #[nn]

Panini France's 2013 edition of La Ligue des Gentlemen Extraordinaires — Le Dossier Noir arrives in fine style, with Kevin O'Neill's cover art placing a sharp-dressed blonde woman and a trench-coated male figure at the center of a richly detailed scene. Behind them looms a large painted portrait crowded with shadowy, eclectic characters — including a masked figure, an owl, and assorted mysterious faces — lending the whole composition a mood of layered intrigue and Victorian-flavored adventure. At 29,40 EUR, this French-language volume is a handsome way to experience Alan Moore and O'Neill's celebrated collaboration in a beautifully presented package.
