Lady S.

From 2010 to 2016, Mosaik Steinchen für Steinchen Verlag published Lady S., a sophisticated spy-thriller series centered on a resourceful female protagonist navigating a world of international intrigue and personal secrets. Spanning 11 issues, the series is primarily written by Jean Van Hamme and Marcel Le Comte, with art by Philippe Aymond, whose elegant, detailed style grounds the high-stakes espionage in a cool, European sensibility. A standout in the modern Franco-Belgian tradition, Lady S. matters for its nuanced character study and its refusal to reduce its heroine to a simple action archetype.
