Jonathan #5

The fifth volume of Cosey's contemplative adventure series brings Jonathan to the German-language ComicArt imprint with "Der blaue Raum zwischen den Wolken" — "The Blue Space Between the Clouds." The cover, rendered entirely by Cosey, gathers four figures against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and a grand domed building: a young Indigenous woman adorned with beaded jewelry stands at the center, flanked by a curly-haired young man (likely Jonathan himself), an older white-haired gentleman in the foreground, and a suited man smoking a cigarette to the right. Published in 1986 at 12,80 DEM, this album showcases Cosey's characteristically delicate linework and his gift for evoking remote, quietly mysterious landscapes.
