Maggy Garrisson #3

The third volume of Lewis Trondheim and Stéphane Oiry's noir series finds Maggy standing tense on a rain-slicked city street, her expression unreadable as a gun is aimed at her from just off-panel — all rendered in Oiry's moody, shadow-drenched palette of greens and deep reds. The gritty urban backdrop, with its glowing pub signs and darkened storefronts, perfectly captures the series' British noir atmosphere. Subtitled Je ne voulais pas que ça finisse comme ça, this 2016 Dupuis release promises a gripping turn for one of Franco-Belgian comics' most compelling detective heroines.
