20th Century Boys #2

Naoki Urasawa's gripping thriller continues with this 2002 Panini France edition, its swirling green cover framing a tense-looking man in a striped shirt cradling a young baby — an image that balances domestic vulnerability against an unmistakable sense of unease. The bold orange title treatment and that quietly anxious figure make for a cover that draws you in without shouting. A fine addition to any manga shelf from one of the medium's most compelling storytellers.
