Giuseppe Bergman #3

Milo Manara's Giuseppe Bergman: Aventures Orientales arrives in this 2012 Glénat edition, its cover rendered in Manara's characteristically fluid monochrome linework — a confident, curly-haired woman in a wide-brimmed hat and spotted dress gazes upward with an air of breezy self-possession. The restrained two-tone palette gives the illustration an elegance that lets Manara's draftsmanship speak entirely for itself. Fans of the series and admirers of Manara's pen work will find this a very satisfying addition to the shelf.
