Max

A single-issue series published in 1961 by Sanssouci, Max is a quiet, wordless gem of European comics, best known for the work of artist Luigi Pericle Giovannetti. Its premise follows a gentle, solitary anthropomorphic dog navigating the small dramas and quiet wonders of his world, rendered in a deceptively simple line that carries immense warmth and philosophical depth. Though slight in length, the issue stands as a distinctive artifact of its era, showcasing Giovannetti’s unique talent for storytelling without text.
