Ristampe Storiche #4

This 2009 Comicon Edizioni volume celebrates the German artists of the Chicago Sunday Tribune, with cover art by Lyonel Feininger and Lothar Meggendorfer that sets the tone beautifully — a boldly composed scene featuring the Statue of Liberty looming over a harbor, while a grand ocean liner labeled "Deutschland" steams into view beneath swirling crowds and caricatured figures in a richly detailed early-comics style. Inside, Feininger serves as writer, artist, inker, and letterer for "The Kin-der-Kids Abroad," making this a remarkably singular creative vision. For anyone drawn to the roots of the comics medium and its transatlantic history, this fourth entry in the Ristampe Storiche series is a genuinely rewarding find.
