Tuki #2

Jeff Smith's Tuki: Fight for Family continues with issue #2, its cover drawing the eye across a sweeping African savanna silhouetted against a luminous full moon and a vast, star-filled night sky — a lone acacia tree standing sentinel in the stillness while a figure's silhouette looms large in the foreground. The mood is quietly epic, balancing intimacy and enormity in a way that feels distinctly Smith's own, with every line of the cover rendered by his hand alone. "The Old Habo's Grotto" promises to push this prehistoric journey further, and this 2022 Cartoon Books release is a beautiful object to hold whether you're reading along or just beginning.
