Shanghai Dream #2

The concluding volume of Philippe Thirault and Jorge Miguel's two-part series arrives with a cover that captures both tenderness and tension: a couple embraces at the center while crowds of figures in worn clothing surge around them, and a formation of warplanes sweeps ominously across the sky above a dusty, barracks-lined landscape. Jorge Miguel's artwork balances that intimate human moment against the weight of a world in upheaval, making the dedication "À la mémoire d'Illo" feel all the more poignant before a single page is turned. Published by Les Humanoïdes Associés in 2019, this is historical adventure told with real emotional care.
