Mildiou #[nn]

A vivid red cover sets the stage for Mildiou, as a wide-eyed figure in teal pants tumbles upside-down through an explosion of rocks, lightning bolts, and smoke — sword visible amid the chaos below. Lewis Trondheim's kinetic linework gives the scene an irresistible, almost slapstick energy that pulls you in immediately. Published by Pow Pow in 2017, this is the kind of bold, expressive cartooning that reminds you why the medium is so endlessly fun.
