L'Intervista #[nn]

Manuele Fior's L'Intervista arrives from Coconino Press in 2013 with a cover that immediately signals something quietly extraordinary: a pale, wide-eyed young woman in a dark, geometric dress stands against a shimmering diamond-pattern background, her voluminous hair framing an expression that hovers between vulnerability and calm. The muted gold-and-grey palette gives the whole image a dreamlike, almost timeless quality entirely characteristic of Fior's delicate linework. If you're drawn to literary European comics with a distinctly artistic sensibility, this is a very fine place to look.
