The Turn of the Screw #[nn]

Guido Crepax brings his distinctively sensual European line work to this 1995 NBM/Eurotica adaptation of Henry James's celebrated psychological thriller. The cover, drawn and inked by Crepax himself, collages bold graphic panels together — a close-up of a dark-haired woman with an ornate hair comb, a reclining male figure stretching dramatically across the composition, and a meticulously rendered vintage luxury automobile in the foreground. It's a visually arresting introduction to Crepax's signature style, where Art Deco elegance and dreamlike tension feel entirely at home in James's world of ambiguous dread.
