Au malheurs des dames #[nn]

The third album in the *Mythic* series from Éditions Joker brings together writers Walthéry and Di Sano for *Au malheur des dames*, and the cover sets an immediately vivid tone — a striking, boldly dressed woman in ornate jewelry and a purple costume reclines against a richly colored red backdrop, radiating confidence and a certain theatrical glamour. The warm Mediterranean palette and decorative styling give the whole thing an exotic, adventure-serial feel that promises intrigue with a playful edge. A solid 2002 entry for fans of Franco-Belgian comics with personality to spare.
