Sydney Bruce #1

Set against a moody nocturnal cityscape of steel girders and gas lamps, this 1987 Glénat album introduces Sydney Bruce in "De blauwe Indiër" — a brooding young man in a burgundy coat dominates the foreground while a mysterious cloaked figure prowls the rooftops behind him. Francis Carin's cover artwork balances atmospheric shadow with crisp linework, establishing a noir-tinged world of urban intrigue from the very first page. Writer François Rivière and artist Carin, with colors by Cécile Bertrand, make this an immediately compelling opener for the series.
