Pieśń strzyg #5

Against a striking amber-orange backdrop, Richard Guérineau's cover for this 2004 Egmont Polska release packs five armed and dangerous figures into a single tense tableau — a long-haired gunman, a looming silhouette, a blond man leveling a pistol, a woman in black with sunglasses, and a suited figure brandishing a blade, all radiating the kind of coiled menace that defines the series. Pieśń Strzyg Vol. 5, subtitled Ślady ("Traces"), continues Éric Corbeyran's shadowy thriller world with Guérineau's sharp, noir-inflected linework holding every detail in crisp tension. It's a compelling chapter in this Polish-published series for anyone drawn to stylish, hard-edged graphic storytelling.
