Masqué #2

The second volume of Delcourt's Masqué arrives with a cover that immediately commands attention: a caped figure stands silhouetted against a glowing, fire-lit Paris skyline, the Eiffel Tower rising through dramatic searchlight beams in the distance. Subtitled "Le Jour du Fuseur," this 2012 entry from Lehman and Créty promises a charged atmosphere of tension and spectacle over a city that feels both familiar and under siege. Benjamin Carré's cover art — handling pencils, inks, and colors — bathes the scene in deep amber and electric blue, giving the lone masked hero a brooding, cinematic presence perfectly suited to the series' masked-vigilante world.
