Sherlock Holmes & de Vampiers van Londen #2

The second and final chapter of "Dood en levend" closes out this striking Belgian-published arc with a cover that demands attention: a poised, red-gowned woman adorned with a rose stands coolly against a backdrop of roaring flames and ruined ships, while a massive, bat-winged demon looms in the shadows behind her. Jean-Sébastien Rossbach's cover art blends gothic menace with Victorian elegance in a way that feels genuinely cinematic. Writer Sylvain Cordurié and artist Vladimir Krstic-Laci bring their dark reimagining of Holmes's London to a head in this 2011 conclusion — essential reading for fans of supernatural mystery.
