Vapor #[nn]

From Spanish cartoonist Max comes this elegantly spare volume, its clean white cover featuring a spindly, beak-nosed figure crouched over a prone body against a minimal landscape — an image that hints at mystery and dry wit in equal measure. Published by Ediciones La Cúpula in 2012, Vapor carries the distinctive minimalist line work Max is known for, distilling a whole mood into just a few economical strokes. If you appreciate comics that trust silence and simplicity to do the heavy lifting, this one deserves a place on your shelf.
