Panna Maria #[nn]

A brooding figure in a dark hat and suit dominates the foreground of this striking Casterman album, his angular face rendered in Muñoz's unmistakable stark linework. Behind him, two shadowy figures linger beneath a neon sign reading "The Mar—," conjuring a world of rain-slicked urban tension. Charyn and Muñoz bring their noir sensibilities together here in a package that feels both literary and viscerally cinematic.
