Le Casse #4

Set against a bold yellow sky, this Delcourt album plants a looming, gun-wielding figure in a dark coat and police cap squarely in front of Big Ben — London, 1977, rendered with cool, clean linework by the creative team of Duval, Quet, and Basset. La Grande Escroquerie promises a sharp, atmospheric caper rooted in late-seventies Britain, and the cover's stark contrast between that saturated yellow backdrop and the brooding silhouette sets a mood that's equal parts thriller and style. The fourth chapter of Le Casse looks like exactly the kind of Franco-Belgian crime comics that remind you why the genre endures.
