Les Ailes de Plomb - L'Intégrale #1 à 3

A lone figure, illuminated by a cold beam of yellow light, stands in a stark winter forest before a wrecked, half-buried car — an opening image that sets a quietly unsettling tone for this complete collection of Les Ailes de Plomb, volumes 1 through 3, by Gibelin and Barral. The restrained palette of grey, black, and that single slash of amber creates an atmosphere of dread and mystery that feels entirely at home in Delcourt's 2018 omnibus edition. If you're looking for brooding Franco-Belgian thriller storytelling gathered in one handsome volume, this intégrale is a compelling place to start.
