Bella ciao #3

The third volume of Baru's Bella Ciao arrives from Futuropolis, and this cover alone sets a quietly compelling tone — a young boy in a yellow shirt and pith hat stands front and center, small but composed, while a red-clad figure looms in the hazy industrial background behind him. Baru's painterly use of deep crimson and warm earth tones gives the image a atmospheric weight that feels both nostalgic and uneasy. A fitting visual note for a series that has established itself as one of the more thoughtful works in the 2022 Franco-Belgian catalog.
