Casanova #1

Gabriel Bá's cover sets the tone immediately: a sharp-dressed man in a purple suit stands coolly on a circular rug, pistol in one hand and a casual point with the other, surrounded by bold retro geometric shapes in warm oranges and yellows. It's a striking opening statement for Matt Fraction and Bá's "Execution Days" — spy-fi style married to mod-era design sensibility, all for just $1.99. Casanova #1 arrives from Image in 2006 with the kind of confident visual swagger that makes you want to flip straight to page one.
