Pin-Up #10

The tenth volume of Yann and Philippe Berthet's stylish Belgian series brings the glamour and danger of classic Hollywood center stage, with cover art by Berthet showing a poised, red-haired woman seated in a director's chair boldly labeled "Hitchcock" — a small pistol in her hand and film equipment scattered around her. "Le Dossier Alfred H." promises intrigue wrapped in that irresistible golden-age cinema atmosphere the series does so well. If you've been following Pin-Up's blend of mid-century style and suspense, this 2011 Dargaud entry looks like a thoroughly satisfying chapter.
