Giuseppe Bergman #1

Milo Manara's Giuseppe Bergman: Aventures Vénitiennes opens with a cover that perfectly captures the artist's signature style — a confidently posed young woman in a bikini top, rendered in Manara's fluid, expressive linework against a clean white background, with just a hint of a mysterious shadowy figure at the lower edge. Published by Glénat in 2011 under the Drugstore imprint, this French-language collection showcases Manara as writer, artist, and inker — a complete artistic vision from one hand. If you appreciate sophisticated European bande dessinée with a sensual, playful spirit, this is a title that belongs on your shelf.
