Nachtbloem #2

The second chapter of Nachtbloem — "Dolende zielen" ("Wandering Souls") — arrives with a cover that immediately sets the tone: a young woman in a deep violet coat and golden scarf stands resolute in what appears to be Venice's St. Mark's Square, while a column of German soldiers marches ominously behind her. Marco Nizzoli's artwork brings a quietly tense atmosphere to the scene, the grandeur of the piazza contrasting sharply with the weight of occupation pressing at her back. Written by Giovanna Furio and Ben Kamphuis, this 2023 release promises a story of individuals navigating a world turned precarious.
