Le chant des Asturies #2

Alfonso Zapico's Le Chant des Asturies Tome II arrives from Futuropolis with a richly detailed cover that immediately draws the eye to a young woman striding forward with purpose, rifle in hand, set against a lush Asturian landscape dotted with architecture and industry. Surrounding her in an elegant oval vignette are vignettes of workers, soldiers, and figures that speak to a community in motion — rendered throughout in a warm sepia palette that gives the whole composition a sense of lived history. This 2023 volume promises the same careful, humanist storytelling that has made Zapico one of the most thoughtful voices in contemporary European comics.
