Kosmos

A short-lived but visually striking Italian science-fiction series from Mondadori, Kosmos ran for just eight issues between 1976 and 1977. The series is most remembered for its painted covers and interiors by artist Carlo Jacono, whose lush, atmospheric style gave the anthology a distinctive, dreamlike quality. Though brief, Kosmos stands as a notable European experiment in blending speculative fiction with fine-art illustration.
