Carlisle #2

From Bamboo Édition's Grand Angle imprint comes Carlisle #2 — "Retour aux sources" — a brooding Franco-Belgian album that wears its dark atmosphere proudly. The cover, by Seigneuret, is immediately arresting: a pale, white-haired figure sits confined in an ornate bed, chains draped across his bare torso, while a rearing horse looms ominously in the shadowy background. Writers Chevais-Deighton and Seigneuret craft a series that clearly savors its gothic tension, and this 2015 volume promises that whatever homecoming awaits Carlisle, it won't be a comfortable one.
