Sherman #8

A stylishly composed cover sets the tone for this 2018 entry in Le Lombard's Sherman series — a sharp-looking woman in sunglasses and a long coat holds a pistol with cool composure, while behind her the imagery splits dramatically between swinging-sixties youth culture and shadowy wartime symbols, including a swastika-marked ruin. Subtitled Les chemins de Jeannie, 1969, the volume places its central figure squarely at the crossroads of postwar memory and late-1960s turbulence, promising the kind of layered historical intrigue the series does so well. Magda and Desberg deliver a cover that's equal parts espionage thriller and period atmosphere.
