One Story #[nn]

Gipi's One Story arrives from Fantagraphics as a beautifully understated package — a cream-toned hardcover whose spare design lets the title dominate in bold, atmospheric lettering, with a haunting painted vignette of a wide-eyed, pallid face gazing upward beneath storm-laden skies. The minimalist presentation feels deliberate and assured, trusting Gipi's striking visual sensibility to draw readers in without fanfare. For anyone who appreciates literary comics with a strong artistic voice, this 2020 volume makes a quietly compelling case for itself right from the cover.
