Baobab

In this brief, two-issue series from 2005–2006, published by Vertige graphic and Coconino Press, Italian cartoonist Igor Tuveri—working under the name Igort—crafts a contemplative, visually striking fable. Baobab explores themes of memory and solitude through its sparse, poetic narrative and Igort's signature clean, expressive linework. Though short, the series stands as a distinctive example of early-2000s European alternative comics, showcasing the artist's quiet, atmospheric storytelling.
