Sarajevo Tango #[nn]

Hermann's Sarajevo-Tango arrives from Dupuis in 1995 as a striking, sobering work — its cover dominated by blood-red typography spelling out the title in massive, brushstroke-rough letters against a stark black ground. Tucked into the corner, a sniper's crosshair frames a small circular vignette of civilian figures on a street, instantly conveying the tension at the heart of this story set against the siege of Sarajevo. Entirely the vision of Hermann — writer, artist, inker, and colorist — this is a rare single-creator album where every visual and narrative choice flows from one uncompromising hand.
