" Miss Endicott - Volume 1 ", and Derrien Fourquemin
After a long journey through the Orient, Prudence Endicott is back in London following the death of his mother.
This, "Reconciliation" of the city was helping the weak and the poor victims of injustice.
Prudence decides to resume the role of his mother at night, while maintaining a position as governess the day.
While his first mission is successful, Prudence finally discover the underworld of London, one of the Forgotten, ugly, misshapen and other undesirables, which seems a revolt against those "from above" ...
A design that fits well with the atmosphere of London of the nineteenth century, with a lot of dusty houses, dark alleys, the corners of street thugs and small glimmers intriguing. Without missing heat so far, it integrates very well in history: a mixture of Gothic stained investigation of a light fantastic and questioning of a "superhero" who realizes that helping humanity is not so much sinecure.
weaknesses in this story, perhaps those not play too well with the images it employs. Despite minor characters that we feel become endearing (the little scamp seduced by her new housekeeper to the butler in the right heart, through the "good bastards" service ...) but a little too smooth, this comic reads nicely - though not surprisingly - and has a certain charm.
The end leaves us on a rebound, so expect to see Volume Two, which should already be published soon ...
