Ombre et Lumière #5

The fifth installment of Dynamite's Ombre & Lumière continues "La voisine (deuxième partie)" with the same quiet, arresting elegance that defines this 2014 French-language series. Parris Quinn's cover — rendered entirely by his own pencils and inks — presents a solitary female figure seen from behind, her bare back dramatically sculpted by cool, painterly contrasts of shadow and light that give the series its very name. It's a strikingly intimate image, understated yet confident, that sets a moody, contemplative tone for whatever unfolds inside.
