Berlin #2

Set against a rubble-strewn postwar Berlin, this second volume from Marvano places a young boy at the center of the scene — arms outstretched, balancing atop the wreckage as a red Soviet aircraft cuts through a pale blue sky overhead. Warning signs cautioning about unexploded ordnance ("Gefahr! Blindgänger") pepper the devastated landscape, perfectly capturing the precarious world children navigated in a divided city. It's a visually arresting cover that sets a tone at once playful and quietly sobering for this 2007 Dargaud release.
