Gli Integrali BD #53

The second of three omnibus volumes collecting La Banca, this 2022 edition from Editoriale Aurea spans the turbulent years 1857–1871, with writing by Pierre Boisserie and Philippe Guillaume and art by Malo Kerfriden. The cover sets an immediately gripping scene: two elegantly dressed women huddle amid a barricade of overturned carts and debris, while armed soldiers loom behind them against a smoke-tinged urban backdrop — a striking image of civilian lives caught in the upheaval of a revolutionary era. Kerfriden's linework brings both the delicate period costumes and the raw tension of the street barricade to life with impressive confidence.
