Tournants dangereux #2

The cover of Tournants dangereux #2 sets the tone perfectly — a close-up portrait of a sharp-eyed young woman with wild orange hair and a small white bow perched on top, rendered in Maitena's characteristically clean, expressive linework. That half-lidded, unfazed expression says everything about the deadpan humor and no-nonsense attitude that made this Argentine cartoonist's work a sensation. Published by Éditions Métailié in 2008, this second volume is a wonderful entry point into Maitena's wry, warmly observed world.
