Lady S. #4

Jean Van Hamme and Philippe Aymond's espionage series puts its glamorous protagonist front and center on this 2013 Cinebook entry, subtitled "A Mole in D.C." The cover, illustrated by Aymond, places a poised blonde woman at a podium in front of the White House, flanked by a group of suited officials, military figures, and advisors — a scene bristling with political tension and hidden agendas. If the title promises intrigue at the heart of American power, this image delivers on that promise with confident, polished style.
