Wish You Were Here #1
In "The Innocents," Gipi crafts a quiet, piercing story of responsibility and reckoning as Gil, tasked with watching his nephew for the day, takes him to meet Valerio—just out of prison after years behind bars for a violent act born of long-standing abuse. With Gipi handling every aspect of the interior art and inking, and Paul Baresh’s lettering lending a steady rhythm, the issue unfolds with a restrained intensity that lingers long after the final page.
