Bootblack: Edição Integral

In this single-volume graphic novel from Portuguese publisher Ala dos Livros, Mikaël crafts a stark, intimate portrait of a young bootblack navigating the harsh realities of 1930s New York. The story strips away the era’s glamour to focus on survival, dignity, and the small acts of resilience that define a forgotten life. Released in 2022, this is a self-contained, standalone work that distills a powerful historical moment into one tight, visually driven narrative.
