Mort Cinder #2

Part of Glénat's Collection BD Noire, this second volume of Mort Cinder presents the creative partnership of Breccia and Oesterheld in striking form. The cover, rendered in Breccia's characteristically gritty, high-contrast style, depicts a gaunt, hollow-eyed figure in a striped garment clutching a knife — an image that radiates menace and unease with quiet intensity. A compelling piece of 1982 French-language comics publishing that showcases just how atmospheric noir storytelling in the medium could be.
