Sherlock Holmes - Les Chroniques de Moriarty #2

Two bare-knuckle brawlers clash in a dusty arena ringed by onlookers, the raw physicality of the cover — painted by Andrea Fattori — immediately signaling that Les Chroniques de Moriarty takes the Victorian underworld seriously. This second volume from Sylvain Cordurié and Fattori plunges deeper into the shadowy mythology surrounding Holmes's greatest adversary, framed here through gritty combat rather than drawing-room deduction. Published by Soleil in 2016, it's a compelling entry point into a French-language reimagining that wears its pulpy ambitions with considerable style.
