Les Archives secrètes de Sherlock Holmes #2

A dimly lit stone cellar sets an ominous stage on this 2017 Glénat album cover, where a sharp-eyed Holmes in his trademark deerstalker and tweed grips a revolver while three other figures — including a robed man in red and a clergyman — loom over what appears to be a body on a rough table. The subtitle Le Club de la mort ("The Club of Death") promises exactly the kind of shadowy intrigue this scene delivers in spades. Chanoirat and Marniquet bring a clean, expressive ligne claire style that makes every suspicious glance and gloomy archway count.
