Reckless #3

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips bring their noir crime series to French readers with this Delcourt edition of Éliminer les Monstres. Sean Phillips' cover puts three figures front and center: a hard-jawed man leveling a revolver at the viewer, a woman with pink hair and glasses looking wary, and a gas-masked figure armed in the background — all framed against a fiery urban explosion. It's a tightly composed image that signals exactly the kind of tense, pulpy atmosphere this creative duo delivers so well.
