The Turn of the Screw

Guido Crepax’s visually arresting adaptation of Henry James’s classic ghost story, published by NBM, captures the creeping dread of a governess confronting spectral visitors at a remote estate. The series, ongoing since 1995, distills James’s psychological horror into Crepax’s signature stylized, dreamlike panels, with Stefano Gaudiano contributing to the writing. A single-issue entry in Crepax’s celebrated literary adaptations, it showcases his ability to translate dense narrative tension into pure sequential art.
