Sky Doll #2

The second chapter of Sky Doll: Aqua pulls you deeper into Barbucci and Canepa's hauntingly beautiful world with a cover that's impossible to look away from. At center stage stands Noa, the pale, wide-eyed android doll, dressed in stark black and gripping a weapon with clawed hands, her expression caught somewhere between vulnerability and quiet determination — all set against a lush, aquatic Art Nouveau backdrop of swirling flora and ethereal female figures rendered in cool teals and greens. This 2008 Marvel/Soleil co-production is a genuine showcase of European comics craft, with every line of cover art by Barbucci and Canepa radiating the same painterly elegance that made this limited series so distinctive.
