O'Boys #3

The third volume of O'Boys draws you straight into the American South with a cover that says everything without saying a word — a lone figure in a hat stands at a rain-slicked crossroads under a single street lamp, the darkened storefronts of a small town stretching away into the night. Steve Cuzor's art bathes the scene in deep blues and amber, making "Midnight Crossroad" feel genuinely atmospheric before you've turned a single page. Written by Stéphane Colman and Cuzor, this 2012 Dargaud release promises the kind of moody, blues-soaked storytelling that makes this series so compelling.
