Max

In the mid-1950s, Macmillan introduced Max, a single-issue comic largely drawn by the Swiss-Italian artist Luigi Pericle Giovannetti. This gentle, wordless story follows a small, furry animal through quiet, whimsical adventures, standing out for its elegant, expressive artwork and its place in the early post-war landscape of European-style illustrated comics. Though brief, the series remains a charming artifact of Giovannetti’s distinctive, minimalist sensibility.
