I like this informal, yet detailed watercolor style, with those guitar pedal-effects really doing it for me. Indeed, from what I've seen, most Italian artists in BD tend to go for a more painstakingly detailed style, with this one reminding me more of a 'French approach,' with more of a loose energy.
So-- "Gipi" is a thumpingly-good Italian author/writer. I think the only full work I've read of his so far was Land of the Sons, an incredible contrast to this story, being 'post-apoc' in theme.
At the end of the day? He thinks about a million things, and finds ways to express them all, somehow & some way. This is the very case for great BD being a nominate for great literature. No joke...
Here's some more about the man himself, and his works:
