Les Sanson et l'amateur de souffrances #3

The third volume of Les Sanson et l'amateur de souffrances brings Mallet and Beuzelin's atmospheric French historical series to another gripping chapter, its cover setting an unmistakably dark tone. A elegantly dressed figure stands before a guillotine — its blade glinting red — while a gaunt, looming face dominates the background and shadowy onlookers linger in the distance. Vents d'Ouest delivers a beautifully unsettling package that makes this 2019 installment a compelling addition to the series.
