Nuove Storie della vecchia Palomar

In this three-issue miniseries, Italian publisher Coconino Press revisits the poetic, surreal world of Palomar, a fictional village first imagined by writer Italo Calvino. Each issue, released between 2007 and 2010, features a different artist—including Lorenzo Mattotti and others—adapting Calvino’s delicate, observational tales into lush, atmospheric comic form. The series stands as a thoughtful tribute to Calvino’s literary vision, bringing his quiet, philosophical vignettes to a new visual medium.
