Blackstone #2

The second volume of Corbeyran and Chabbert's Blackstone series takes the mysterious magician to New York, and the cover sets a captivating tone — a cloaked figure stands with arms outstretched as a breathtaking swirl of golden doves bursts into the air around him, bathed in warm, painterly light against grand classical columns. Chabbert's artwork gives the scene a genuine sense of wonder, somewhere between stage illusion and something far more otherworldly. If this 2013 Glénat release is any indication, Blackstone is a series that wears its sense of mystery beautifully.
