Les aventures de Betsy #2

From Editions Paquet's Belgian-style adventure series comes this 2017 installment of Les Aventures de Betsy, where our sharp-eyed blonde heroine stands alert on the cobblestone streets of what appears to be a characterful Normandy town, its striking half-timbered buildings looming behind her. A sleek vintage light-blue car anchors the scene, evoking a very particular era of European intrigue, while a figure lurking in a window above hints that Betsy is far from alone. Jérome Phalippou's clean, confident linework gives "Le Fantôme d'Argent" a cinematic quality that feels right at home alongside the great Franco-Belgian adventure traditions.
