Une Tragédie grecque #1

Bartoll and Nicaise open this Franco-Belgian series with a cover that immediately signals glamour and intrigue: a man in a light suit and a woman in a white dress stand together on the prow of a wooden speedboat, gazing toward a gleaming white luxury yacht anchored before dramatic sun-bleached cliffs topped by a grand palatial building. The Mediterranean setting — all sapphire water, warm stone, and opulent architecture — gives Une Tragédie grecque an atmosphere of wealth poised on the edge of something darker. For readers drawn to sophisticated, sun-drenched drama, this 2012 Bamboo Édition album promises a world where beauty and peril sail in very close company.
