Requiem chevalier vampire #8

Two eerily beautiful figures — one pale and ghostly, the other intricately armored — are locked in an intimate, unsettling embrace against a backdrop of crimson velvet curtains and sickly green light, as luminous winged creatures flutter through the shadows around them. This is Requiem Chevalier Vampire #8 — "La Reine des Âmes Mortes" (The Queen of Dead Souls) — Pat Mills and Olivier Ledroit's darkly gorgeous gothic fantasy series at its most visually ornate. Published by Glénat in 2020, Ledroit's cover art alone makes this volume a striking centerpiece for any fan of beautifully macabre European comics.
