The Adventures of Blake & Mortimer #24

Against the stone walls of what appears to be a grand historic building, a woman in a teal dress kneels on the ground, carefully examining scattered documents and objects — including what looks like a red hat — while a tall man in a grey suit stands watchfully over her, the whole scene dramatically lit by a sharp diagonal beam of light. André Juillard's cover art for this 2017 Cinebook release carries the clean, elegant ligne claire craftsmanship that has long defined the Blake & Mortimer series, with a mood that hints at mystery, discovery, and quiet tension. Written by Yves Sente and brought to life by Juillard, The Testament of William S. promises the kind of sophisticated, puzzle-driven adventure that fans of Edgar P. Jacobs' original creation have come to treasure.
