Ada Enigma #3

Against a backdrop of sun-baked stone architecture, Ada herself commands the cover in a sweeping rust-red period gown, her dark hair caught mid-motion as she grips an imposing silver trident — a striking image that signals something decidedly more dangerous than ordinary Victorian adventure. The subtitle *Une histoire infernale* ("An Infernal Story") delivers on that promise, hinting at the hellish territory this third volume explores. Writer François Maingoval and artist-colorist Vincent Dutreuil bring a lush, atmospheric quality to the series, and this 2002 Glénat release looks to be one of its most visually arresting chapters yet.
