Drei Steine #[nn]

From an overhead perspective that immediately unsettles, Nils Oskamp's cover for Drei Steine shows a young man lying injured on a tiled floor — a school bag, scattered belongings, and a bloodied lip painting a quietly devastating picture of adolescent vulnerability. Published by Panini Deutschland in 2016, this German graphic novel announces itself with a composition that is both cinematically striking and emotionally raw. Oskamp's muted, shadow-drenched palette gives the image a haunting weight that lingers well after you set it down.
