About the series
From 2020, Philippe Thirault and Jorge Miguel crafted a two-issue miniseries for Silvester that blends noir and fantasy in a reimagined 1930s Shanghai. The story follows a detective haunted by a past case, drawn into a mystery where ancient Chinese myths seep into the city’s shadowy underworld. Thirault’s intricate plotting and Miguel’s atmospheric, moody art give this compact series a distinctive, cinematic feel. It matters as a tight, evocative example of how European comics can fuse historical settings with supernatural elements, leaving a strong impression in just two issues.
