Curiosity Shop #3

Set against an Art Nouveau-framed cover rendered in rich teals and warm reds, this third volume from Glénat pairs a determined young woman — revolver in hand — with a tall, fair-haired man in a close, charged embrace. Valero and Martin bring an unmistakable Belle Époque atmosphere to Curiosity Shop, with the subtitle Le Moratoire hinting at intrigue simmering beneath the romance. It's a beautifully composed package that makes a strong case for picking up this 2013 French series.
