Les Phalanges de l'Ordre noir #[nn]
In *Les Phalanges de l'Ordre noir* (1990), writer Christin and artist Enki Bilal deliver a stark, atmospheric tale set in the fictional Polish town of Krolówka, where Soviet and European apparatchiks gather for a hunting trip. As the hunt unfolds, each man recounts personal memories shaped by the oppressive legacy of the Soviet regime, with the enigmatic Vassili Alexandrovitch Tchevtchenko looming over them all. The story’s haunting tone and masterful visuals—penciled, inked, and colored by Bilal—create a chilling meditation on power, guilt, and memory, with cover art by Enki Bilal.
