Les enquêtes auto de Margot #1

The opening chapter of Les enquêtes auto de Margot arrives in 2009 with a cover that immediately sets a stylish, retro tone: a mystery woman in a white dress and red heels towers over a gleaming vintage Citroën Traction Avant on a sun-scorched country road, her face just out of frame — all long legs and intrigue. Writer and artist Olivier Marin (with inks also by Marin) frames the classic automobile as central to the enigma, its crimson bodywork and distinctive silhouette looking every bit as dramatic as the stormy orange sky behind it. If you love automotive history wrapped in old-fashioned suspense, this first volume promises a very appealing ride.
