Sherman #3

Three figures — a sharp-suited young man at the center, flanked by a cigar-smoking man in a fedora and a stern older gentleman — share a table scattered with whiskey bottles and glassware, while a dancer performs on a dimly lit stage behind them. The deep crimson atmosphere of La passion. Lana sets a moody, noir tone that Griffo and Desberg clearly relish, balancing elegance and menace in equal measure. Published in 2011 by Le Lombard under their Troisième Vague imprint, this third Sherman volume promises the kind of smoky, tension-filled drama that makes European crime comics so compelling.
