Pin-up #4

The fourth volume of Pin-Up, published by Salleck in 1999, arrives with a cover by Philippe Berthet that immediately commands attention — a poised, red-haired woman in a sleek black strapless gown and long gloves strides confidently against a bold red-and-cream graphic backdrop, her silhouette the very picture of mid-century glamour. Berthet's linework is fluid and assured, capturing both elegance and a cool, understated edge that suits the series perfectly. Writer Yann and Berthet make a compelling team, and this German-language edition is a handsome way to experience their work together.
