Le 3e oeil #1

A lone, leather-jacketed figure stands in a desolate industrial waterfront — cranes looming in the grey sky behind him, graffiti-tagged walls hemming him in — setting an immediately moody, noir-drenched tone for this French thriller series. Le 3e Œil launches with "Arnaud," and Corbeyran & Espé waste no time establishing a world that feels both gritty and quietly unsettling. Published by Delcourt in 2008, this opener promises psychological tension wrapped in atmospheric, beautifully understated artwork.
