Blackbird Days

In Blackbird Days, writer and artist Manuele Fior crafts a single, self-contained issue for Fantagraphics that captures a quiet, luminous moment in a small Italian town. Known for his delicate, watercolor-infused linework and introspective storytelling, Fior explores the subtle shifts in everyday life as a summer heatwave settles over the community. This 2018 release stands as a concise, atmospheric gem from a celebrated European cartoonist, offering a meditative snapshot of human connection and the passage of time.
