Blackwood

In this taut two-issue miniseries from the French publisher Soleil, a solitary detective investigates a series of unsettling crimes in a rain-soaked city where reality seems to fray at the edges. The series is defined by its moody, atmospheric art and a noir-tinged narrative that blends crime with the uncanny. Though brief, Blackwood leaves a strong impression for its tight, evocative storytelling and its place in Soleil's tradition of sophisticated genre comics.
