The Convent of Hell #[nn]

Set against a moonlit Spanish skyline, this 1997 NBM release opens on the forbidding stone walls of the Convent of the Cloisterd Barefoot Maronite Sisters on the outskirts of León — a setting that immediately signals something deeply unsettling stirs within. The cover, rendered by Noe with rich, painterly detail, moves from that brooding exterior into close-up panels of two nuns in states of shock and confrontation, faces etched with unmistakable alarm. Writer Barreiro and artist Noe clearly have something provocative in store for readers drawn to dark historical drama with an unapologetically bold edge.
