Jessica Blandy #17

Jessica Blandy is a long-running Franco-Belgian bande dessinée series created by writer Jean Dufaux and illustrator Renaud. Launched in 1987, the series follows the eponymous protagonist, an American writer living in various locales, as she finds herself entangled in complex mysteries and noir-inspired thrillers. The series gained critical attention for its mature themes, intricate plots, and Renaud’s distinctively realistic, cinematic visual style.

Issue number 17, titled 'Blue Princess,' continues the established noir tradition of the series, balancing psychological tension with the atmospheric storytelling that defined the collaboration between Dufaux and Renaud. Like the preceding installments, this volume was published under the Dupuis imprint, reflecting the high production standards of European graphic albums. Upon its release, it was well-received by fans of the adult-oriented comic genre, noted for its consistent character development and the detailed, moody artwork that serves as the hallmark of the Jessica Blandy saga.
