Mauro Caldi #4

The fourth volume of Mauro Caldi arrives with a sun-drenched Mediterranean atmosphere, as a red-haired young man sprints urgently through a cobblestone village square while curious onlookers watch and a sleek green sports car idles nearby. Michel Constant's cover art captures a vivid sense of breathless motion against a backdrop of whitewashed buildings, laundry lines, and woven baskets — all the texture of a lively coastal setting. Denis Lapière and Constant's collaboration promises another engaging adventure in "De baai der leugenaars" (The Bay of Liars), and this 2015 edition is a fine addition to the series.
