Cognac #3

The third volume of Delcourt's atmospheric French series brings Chapuzet, Corbeyran, and Brahy's world of vineyards and intrigue to a gripping visual pitch. The cover places a lone figure at the center of a cellar engulfed in flames, surrounded by aging oak barrels and shattered bottles — a striking image that gives full weight to the album's title, Le Cimetière des Machines à Vendanger. It's a beautifully rendered, tension-soaked tableau that makes this 2017 installment feel essential for fans of French BD with a taste for rural mystery and high stakes.
