The Inspector Coke Trilogy: (2025), Dino Battaglia

The Inspector Coke Trilogy is made up of three graphic novels: The Mummy, The Crimes of the Phoenix and The Monster of the Thames.

As the name of the trilogy indicates, it follows a Scotland Yard inspector, inspector Coke, at the turn of the century, early 20th century in the foggy London as he tries to solve three big mysteries. From the description of the attributes I have given to the art of Dino Battaglia you can imagine that in this setting, Mr. Battaglia is like a fish in the water, so to say, as he draws us in from the very first page and never let's go.

Here are the features of the trilogy:
