Le Testament du Docteur Weiss #[nn]

Published by Physalis in 2012, this French-language graphic novel from the creative team of Clod and Frébourg carries an immediately arresting cover: two cloaked figures trudge through a harsh, wind-swept snowscape toward a dark, forbidding castle perched on the horizon. The delicate, almost watercolor-like linework gives the scene a haunting atmosphere that feels equal parts mystery and melancholy — a perfect visual promise for a story bearing the weight of a "testament." If evocative European storytelling drawn in a spare, expressive style appeals to you, Le Testament du Docteur Weiss deserves a place on your shelf.
