Kairos

È difficile descrivere in poche righe quanto sia bello e travolgente #Kairos di Ulysse Malassagne. #EdizioniBD porta in Italia un graphic novel tanto avventuroso, quanto intimo e commovente.

Beautiful art. Everything else is pretty bad. Spoilers, but it doesn’t matter because you probably shouldn’t read this book anyway.
