Martoz (Alessandro Martorelli), Cigarette Break, Inuit Edizioni, Bologna, Italy, 2014,

cover

cover with accordion

A really compelling panoramic drawing with a scratchy street aesthetic that has been folded down into nine pages by this well respected Italian illustrator and comic book artist. The following brief review of this accordion from lucca comics & games (Italy) sums it up fairly well, "The chaotic adventures of a charming lady to the rhythm of a frenetic blues that transforms into a whirlwind of provocative glances, stray cats and liters of caffeine. All consumed in the short space of a cigarette break."

9 double-sided pages, individual pages 11" x 4.5", and when opened 3ft 4.5".
