D #3

The cover of this third volume in Delcourt's D series is immediately arresting — a shadowy, hat-wearing figure emerges from dark, painterly brushstrokes, his pale, skull-like face streaked with crimson in a way that feels both elegant and deeply unsettling. Subtitled Monsieur Caulard, the 2014 release promises a story steeped in menace, brought to life through the collaboration of Ayroles, Maïorana, and Leprévost. If this haunting cover image is any measure of what lies within, readers are in for something genuinely atmospheric and dark.
