“Book Ten: The Great Bird”

In "Book Ten: The Great Bird," David Rawson and Pat McGreal deliver a poignant chapter of Chiaroscuro, spotlighting the final, quiet moments between da Vinci and his apprentice Salai, as recounted in a personal letter. Chas Truog’s evocative art, refined by Rafael Kayanan’s inks and the subtle colors of Carla Feeny and Digital Chameleon, captures the emotional weight of legacy and erasure, as Melzi attempts to remove all traces of Salai from Leonardo’s work after his master’s passing. The cover by Stephen John Phillips and Richard Bruning sets a haunting tone, mirroring the story’s introspective depth.
