Baby's in Black #[nn]

Two figures dressed in black stand close together against a stark dark background — a striking, intimate portrait that sets the mood for this graphic work telling the story of Astrid Kirchherr and Stuart Sutcliffe. Created by Arne Bellstorf and published by Black Velvet in 2011, the Italian edition carries the subtitle "La storia di Astrid Kirchherr & Stuart Sutcliffe," making clear this is a love story rooted in a remarkable moment in music history. The cover's spare, hand-drawn aesthetic — soft lines and a muted palette — signals something tender and literary rather than flashy, a genuinely compelling read for anyone drawn to art, music, and the people behind the scenes.
