Patriot #[nn]

A 2006 release from Icarus Publishing, this manga-style adult title from Patriot features a close, intimate cover illustration of a young woman rendered in warm, detailed linework — the kind of sensual, polished art that defined the genre's North American licensing boom of the mid-2000s. The cover immediately signals the book's mature, romantic tone, with soft shading and expressive character work that showcases the illustrative craft on display.
