Manson #2

The cover of this 2009 Glénat release — the second chapter in writer Cédric Rassat and artist Paolo Bisi's unflinching series — sets the tone immediately: a handcuffed, long-haired figure in a teal jumpsuit is escorted down a stark corridor by flanking sheriff's deputies, while a group of young women in matching blue dresses trail closely behind. Subtitled L'Ombre de Californie ("The Shadow of California"), the image captures a procession that feels equal parts eerie and solemn. Bisi's composed, cinematic linework gives the scene a cold institutional weight that promises a gripping continuation of this true-crime graphic narrative.
