Les Arcanes du Midi-minuit #10

The tenth volume of Les Arcanes du Midi-Minuit arrives with a cover that sets the tension immediately: a red-haired woman in period dress and a determined young man are cornered on a rooftop, dwarfed by the looming shadow of a massive, ominous mechanical sphere bearing down on them. By Gaudin and Trichet, this 2013 Soleil release — subtitled L'Affaire Marnie — blends gaslit atmosphere with genuine menace, and that cover alone makes a compelling case for diving in.
