Olympia Kyklos #4

Three figures in mid-stride dominate this clean, blue-and-white cover — two athletes in modern shorts flanking a curly-haired man in a classical Greek chiton, all running past what appears to be a boxing ring. Mari Yamazaki's signature line work brings an effortlessly playful energy to this fourth volume from Casterman, blending ancient and contemporary athletic worlds with a light, confident hand. If the cover is any indication, the collision of Olympic antiquity and modern sport remains as charming and funny as ever in 2022.
