Sueurs noires #[nn]

A stark, minimalist cityscape rendered in inky brushstrokes sets the mood for Sueurs noires, published by 6 Pieds Sous Terre in 2007. Creator Soularue's cover — a looming skyline of dark, gestural skyscrapers against a clean white background — projects an atmosphere of urban unease with quiet confidence. The restrained palette of black and warm gold gives the whole thing an understated elegance that promises something thoughtful and a little unsettling within.
