Shi #5

A crowd surges with raised fists around a monumental equestrian statue, atop which a fair-haired woman in black stands triumphant — it's a striking image of upheaval and defiance that sets the tone perfectly for "Black Friday." José Homs brings both the writing partnership with Zidrou and his own full artistic vision to this fifth volume of Shi, handling pencils, inks, and color to create a richly layered, painterly cover alive with tension. Published by Dargaud in 2022, this Franco-Belgian series continues to blend elegant craftsmanship with the kind of charged atmosphere that keeps readers turning pages.
