Kililana song #2

The second part of Benjamin Flao's Kililana Song arrives with a cover that immediately pulls you into open water — a lone figure navigating a traditional sailboat as churning blue-grey waves surge around it, the vast sea filling nearly every corner of the painting. Flao's brushwork is quietly stunning, evoking both the beauty and the precariousness of life on the Indian Ocean with a painterly confidence that feels more fine art than comics page. Published by Futuropolis in 2013, this concluding volume promises the same atmospheric depth that made the first part so compelling.
