Croix-Noire #3

To control your own emotions is a power.

To control other people’s emotions is a SUPERPOWER!

Step into the world of Croix Noire, but watch your back. This is not the safest place to be. Croix Noire is one of the roughest areas in France, full of deadbeats, drug addicts and hookers. And that’s just the municipal library! Based on a novella by Bafta winner David Quantick , drawn by Mike Collins (Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Dr Who) and scripted and art-directed by Mike Batt.

Episode 3 We Don’t Talk About Hugo 

Triggered by a photograph, Ace remembers his delinquent years and his two best friends, Hugo (now presumed dead) and Lucie (still around).

In flashback we see the three pals getting into deep trouble. Hugo is beaten up and taken away by the ruthless Andalou brothers, never to be seen again. Meanwhile back at the present tense, the mysterious Hirondelle who claims Hugo is still alive, tells Ace to “find the Unholy Grail” if he wants to find Hugo.

But what is the Unholy Grail?
