The boundless depths of Chris Mullen’s VTS site<\/a> continue to yield treasures. The documentation for these pictures is somewhat vague but they seem to be illustrations for Fant\u00f4mas stories which Mullen has grouped under the title The Dark Ledger<\/em><\/a>, part of a larger selection of pages<\/a> devoted to the Lord of Evil.

The opium den, on the other hand, seems remarkably overlit and well-appointed compared to the more customary renderings<\/a> of such places.<\/p>\n
