Blick zurück nach vorn #[nn]

Mordillo brings his unmistakable pen to this 1986 Heye Verlag collection, whose cover offers a wry reimagining of the Statue of Liberty — crown, torch, and tablet all intact, but the grand figure dressed in a bold striped shirt that gives her a decidedly casual, almost roguish air. It's a quietly funny image that signals the playful visual wit waiting inside. Fans of Mordillo's distinctive line work will find this a characteristically charming entry in his body of work.
