Ellis Island #2

Set against a muted cityscape that hints at New York's promise and peril, this second volume of Ellis Island — subtitled "De Amerikaanse Droom" (The American Dream) — presents a quietly tense cover by Miras: two stern men in heavy overcoats loom over a young boy seated on the ground, while a fourth figure strides away, a trail of red suggesting something has gone very wrong. Philippe Charlot and Miras continue their 2022 series exploring the immigrant experience through this atmospheric Dutch-language edition, where the dream of America seems to carry a distinctly shadowed edge.
