Tard dans la nuit #2

A young man grips a lantern and a rifle against a brooding crimson sky, the dark silhouettes of rural buildings looming behind him — it's a cover that immediately sets a tense, atmospheric mood. Djian and Voro bring this second volume of Tard dans la nuit, subtitled Ménage de Printemps, to life with gritty, confident linework that feels equally rooted in noir and rural drama. If this 2005 Vents d'Ouest release is any indication, the series has a real eye for quiet menace.
