Le Testament du Docteur M #1

The first volume of this French thriller series from Delcourt sets an immediately unsettling tone: a lone, shadowy figure in a long coat strides forward through a stark golden triangle of light, surrounded on all sides by dozens of glowing, watchful eyes emerging from the darkness. Pécau, Damour, and Froissard establish their collaboration with a cover that radiates menace and mystery in equal measure. Les Araignées — "The Spiders" — promises exactly the kind of creeping dread that 2008 bande dessinée fans of atmospheric horror were hungry for.
