Le Parfum de l'invisible #1

The cover of this 2010 Glénat release from Drugstore sets an immediately striking tone: a confident, curly-haired young woman perches on a red stool, wearing a captain's cap, black top, and grey shorts — rendered with the fluid, sensuous linework that defines Milo Manara's style. Le Parfum de l'Invisible, Tome 1 promises the kind of playful, sophisticated storytelling that has made Manara one of European comics' most distinctive voices. At 13.90 EUR, it's an elegant entry point into this series.
