Le Tour d'écrou #[nn]

Hervé Duphat brings Henry James's celebrated ghost story to the comics page in this atmospheric Delcourt adaptation. The cover sets the mood perfectly: a woman in a white Victorian dress leads two children by the hand across a misty lawn toward a grand, shadowy manor house, the cool blue-green palette radiating quiet dread beneath an overcast sky. It's a beautifully restrained image that captures the unsettling tension between innocence and the unknown at the heart of James's tale.
