Fondu au noir #[nn]

A glamorous blonde woman in elegant gloves applies lipstick before a compact mirror on this strikingly composed cover — all cool sophistication and quiet menace that signals classic noir territory. Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, and Elizabeth Breitweiser bring their signature moody atmosphere to this French-language Delcourt edition, with Breitweiser's color work lending the image a warm, vintage glow that feels right at home in 2017. If you appreciate crime storytelling wrapped in cinematic style, this volume belongs on your shelf.
