Topaze #2

Based on Marcel Pagnol's celebrated story, this second volume of Topaze brings the tale's dramatic second act to life in grand style. The cover sets the mood beautifully: a sharply dressed, self-assured man in a grey suit holds an open jewellery box at the foreground, while behind him a glamorous blonde woman in a flowing white dress and a seated gentleman occupy an elegant interior. Serge Scotto, Éric Stoffel, and Éric Hübsch deliver a visually polished adaptation that captures the sophistication and intrigue of Pagnol's world with real flair.
