La Voleuse du Père Fauteuil #2

A young child clutches the walls of a skull-lined underground passage — the Paris catacombs rendered in moody, atmospheric tones — while a towering cloaked figure looms ominously from the shadows above. Omond and Yoann bring genuine dread to this second volume of La Voleuse du Père Fauteuil, subtitled Les Heures Noires, crafting a cover that perfectly captures the series' blend of childhood adventure and gothic unease. Published by Dargaud in 2003 under the Poisson Pilote imprint, this is Franco-Belgian bande dessinée at its most evocative.
