Indiansommar #[nn]

"Indiansommar" is a striking 1986 tale set in 1600s New England near the colonial settlement of New Canaan, where a peaceful coexistence between English settlers and local Native peoples unravels amid a sudden, violent clash during a golden autumn day. Written by Hugo Pratt and Horst Schröder and illustrated with intense detail by Milo Manara—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the story’s mood—this narrative explores themes of repression, desire, and prejudice, echoing the moral tensions of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. The cover, also by Manara, captures the story’s haunting atmosphere in bold, expressive lines.
