Het meisje van de Wereldexpo #3

Set against a smoldering crimson Paris skyline, Étienne Willem's cover for this third chapter of Het meisje van de Wereldexpo places a bold young woman at the center of a striking tableau — flanked by the incomplete head of the Statue of Liberty and shadowy figures connected to the eerie imagery of phrenology skulls. Manini and Willem's 2021 series continues its journey through the 1878 World Exposition with a cover that balances historical grandeur and atmospheric tension in equal measure. If this finale is anything as layered as its striking presentation suggests, it's a compelling addition to any shelf.
