Anne, eerstejaars #[nn]

This Dutch-language adult comedy from Silvester puts protagonist Anne front and center on Vincenzo Cucca's cover, caught mid-scramble in a red dress — glasses askew, clearly flustered — as a crowd of wide-eyed classmates peers through the doorway and window behind her, phones and expressions all registering delightful disbelief. Cucca's linework is lively and expressive, with Mariacristina Federico's warm coloring giving the whole scene a vibrant, slightly chaotic energy that fits the "eerstejaars" (freshman) premise perfectly. If you enjoy European comedy-of-embarrassment storytelling with polished, character-driven art, this 2021 Silvester release looks like a very entertaining way into Anne's world.
