Mille Visages - Intégrale #[nn]

A hunched, intent figure works at a mortar and pestle amid a labyrinth of glowing alchemical flasks, bubbling vessels, and mysterious apparatus — the cover of this Mille Visages complete collection from Les Humanoïdes Associés sets a wonderfully gothic, atmospheric tone. The collaborative work of Thirault, Males, and Janni, this intégrale gathers their intrigue-laced series into a single handsome volume, making 2012 a fine year to discover or revisit the full arc. The richly detailed, candlelit laboratory scene alone hints at a story steeped in transformation and dark science.
