Le Malvoulant #2

The second chapter of Corbeyran and Paul Marcel's eerie French series delivers an atmosphere thick with dread — its subtitle, Le Puits ("The Well"), hints at dark depths to come. Marcel's cover art is immediately arresting: a gaunt, pale-faced figure in weathered clothing grips a heavy mallet, framed by gnarled, bone-like wooden structures beneath a pale moonlit sky, the heavy chain at his side adding to the sense of foreboding purpose. Published by Delcourt in 2007, this volume showcases Marcel's striking ability to build unease through texture and shadow alone.
