Les étranges enquêtes du Major Burns #[nn]

A Victorian-era fog hangs over cobblestone streets as two distinguished gentlemen — one lean, one stout — converse near a "Queen Victoria" street sign, seemingly unaware of the massive tentacle rising ominously from the river behind them. Published in 2020 by Audie's Fluide Glacial imprint, this French-language series promises a delightful blend of period atmosphere and the uncanny, with creator Devig setting the tone perfectly. If you enjoy gaslit mysteries with a dash of the supernatural lurking just out of sight, Les Étranges Enquêtes du Major Burns looks like a very rewarding find.
