Alone #3

The third volume of Vehlmann and Gazzotti's Alone series brings a wonderfully unsettling image: a wide-eyed young girl in an elaborate red dress and braided hair recoils as a very real-looking shark lunges toward her, tentacles trailing from its jaws against a stark white background. Gazzotti's cover art balances genuine tension with the series' signature quirky charm, making the threat feel both absurd and surprisingly menacing. If you've been following these children navigating a world without adults, "The Clan of the Shark" promises the series is still full of imaginative surprises.
