Une aventure de Simon Nian #3

This third volume in the Simon & Nian series from Glénat plunges its protagonists into what the title promises is "L'Exposition Maudite" — the Cursed Exhibition. The cover, by Rodier and Corteggiani, sets a gripping nocturnal scene on a city street where two concerned figures crouch over a fallen man amid scattered papers and a worrying splash of red, while a dark-haired woman in a red jacket looks on with alarm. It's a smartly composed, Franco-Belgian thriller aesthetic that makes this 2011 album an appealing pick for fans of mystery-tinged adventure comics.
