Cauchemar dans la rue #[nn]

A moody, atmospheric noir from the Rivages/Casterman/Noir imprint, Cauchemar dans la rue pairs writer Robin Cook with artist David Sala for what promises to be a brooding dive into darkness. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a pallid, slack-bodied man in a rumpled suit slumps against a woman in a red top who holds him from behind, the two figures rendered in cool, painterly grays that suggest danger, exhaustion, or something far worse. It's a quietly unsettling image that earns its place in the tradition of French noir bande dessinée.
