Les Quatre de Baker Street #1

Set against a sprawling Victorian London skyline — with a grand dome visible in the distance — the cover of this 2009 Vents d'Ouest album places three young street kids atop a rooftop of chimney stacks, accompanied by a small tiger cub and a white bird. David Etien's linework captures a wonderfully lively energy, balancing adventure and warmth as the trio looks ready to take on whatever "L'affaire du rideau bleu" has in store. Writers Jean-Blaise Djian and Olivier Legrand launch what promises to be a charming Holmesian series seen through the eyes of Baker Street's scrappiest young inhabitants.
