Munch #[nn]

Steffen Kverneland's Munch from Placebo Press is a striking biographical comics work that boldly merges cartooning with the visual language of Edvard Munch himself. The cover places a stylized, angular portrait of Munch front and center, rendered in stark grays and blacks, set against a swirling backdrop unmistakably evocative of The Scream — complete with the undulating red and cream sky and two shadowy, top-hatted figures receding along a bridge railing. Published in 2015, this is an ambitious, visually layered tribute that feels as restless and expressive as its subject.
