A review by jeffhall
Black Paths by David B.

5.0

Brilliant! David B is an outstanding graphic artist to begin with, but every once in a while he gets to pair his talents up with subject matter that he really knows how to handle. He did it with Epileptic, and he's done it again with Black Paths. His evocation of the short-lived "Free State of Fiume" and the war-weary, Dada-leaning residents within the city walls is a complex tale, but this author has the chops to pull it off. His beautiful pen work and tasteful coloring is matched only by the sheer richness of his visual imagination. This is one of the world's best graphic novelist at the top of his game - absolutely great stuff.
