Le nouveau Tom Sawyer #2

Two striking figures dominate this 2014 volume from Komikku Éditions — a dark-haired young man in simple tribal dress and a lighter-haired companion in a white shirt, adorned with feathers and a flower, who holds a long staff while a hawk spreads its wings dramatically above them. The pairing suggests adventure and an unlikely bond at the heart of this manga reimagining of the classic tale. With art and story by Ume, Takahiro Ozawa, and Agako Seo, Le Nouveau Tom Sawyer vol. 2 looks like a fresh and visually energetic take on a timeless story.
