Haute sécurité #5

The opening volume of Cycle 3 — L'Ombre d'Ezekiel — arrives with a striking black-and-white cover design that frames a tense, close-up portrait of a young man against the backdrop of what appears to be a large institutional building, immediately evoking the series' prison-drama atmosphere. Published by Dupuis in 2010, this fifth installment brings together the creative team of artist Gihef, writer Callède, and colorist Dina Kathelyn for what promises to be a gripping new chapter in the Haute Sécurité saga. The restrained, almost sketch-like cover aesthetic sets a suitably urgent tone for this first half of what looks to be a compelling two-part arc.
