La Terre des fils #[nn]

From Italian cartoonist Gipi, La Terre des fils arrives through Futuropolis with a cover that is as arresting in its simplicity as anything on the shelves in 2017 — a stark white circle emerging from deep, swirling black crosshatching, the title rendered in rough handwritten lettering at its center. That visual tension between darkness and an almost luminous void sets a quietly unsettling tone before you've turned a single page. A bold, confident work from one of Europe's most distinctive voices in contemporary comics.
