Nello en Patrasche #[nn]

A young boy in tattered winter clothes stands beside a large grey dog before the grand gothic façade of a cathedral, snow falling softly around them — Griffo's cover art for this 2022 Kennes edition captures the bittersweet heart of the beloved Nello en Patrasche story with quiet, aching beauty. The muted palette of grey-blues and warm ochres gives the scene a storybook tenderness, while the crumbling brick wall and scattered toys hint at hardship lurking at the edges. Writer Marc Legendre and artist Griffo bring this timeless tale of a boy and his faithful dog to the comics page in what looks to be a genuinely moving adaptation.
