Een kleine moord #[nn]

A Dutch-language graphic novel from 1991, Een kleine moord ("A Little Murder") brings together writer Alan Moore and artist Oscar Zárate in this Sherpa/Het Raadsel publication. Zárate's cover painting is striking and unsettling: a bespectacled man sits alone at a café table clutching a glass of beer, his expression tense and inward, while looming behind him are distorted, grotesque figures and a grinning young man in a suit — a crowd of menace rendered in brooding golds and shadows. The contrast between the solitary, preoccupied figure in the foreground and the leering presences surrounding him sets a mood that is equal parts noir and psychological unease.
