Out in the Open #[nn]

A stark, sun-baked horizon divides this graphic novel's cover into warm peach and deep burnt orange — a small solitary figure leads a laden donkey across that bare ridge, the vast emptiness around them speaking volumes about isolation and endurance. Adapted from Jesús Carrasco's novel and brought to life by artist Javi Rey, Out in the Open promises a spare, atmospheric journey rendered with striking economy of line and color. Published by SelfMadeHero in 2018, this is the kind of visually bold work that earns its place on the shelf.
