Double Masque #4

The fourth chapter of Jean Dufaux and Jamar's Double Masque arrives with a quietly charged cover: a young man in a deep blue coat holds a flintlock pistol while facing a second, more simply dressed youth in an olive jacket — their expressions caught somewhere between wariness and recognition. Subtitled Les Deux Sauterelles ("The Two Grasshoppers"), this 2008 Dargaud release sets an atmospheric, period-drama tone that fans of the series will find immediately compelling. If you've been following this elegant French adventure, volume four looks poised to deepen the intrigue.
