Le Passeur #[nn]

A lone, top-hatted gunman stands with his back to us, pistol in hand, facing a pale lighthouse shrouded in an ominous amber haze — it's a striking image that immediately signals danger, mystery, and moral ambiguity. Hermann and Yves H. bring their characteristically moody, painterly linework to this Aire Libre release from Dupuis, bathing the scene in muted greys and that unsettling turquoise-green glow. Published in 2016, Le Passeur looks like exactly the kind of brooding, atmospheric thriller these two do so well.
