Olivier Varese #2

The second chapter of Marini and Smolderen's Olivier Varese series arrives with a cover that immediately pulls you into a world of breathless adventure — a young man clings desperately to a giant red rocket-shaped ride as the two of them swing upside-down on a massive loop, a sprawling amusement park glittering in deep blues below them. Enrico Marini's artwork is wonderfully kinetic, capturing that stomach-dropping sensation of height and speed against a twilight fairground backdrop complete with a Ferris wheel and distant attractions. "Welkom in Kokonino World" promises a thrilling, visually inventive ride through what looks like a very unusual theme park indeed.
