Bella Ciao

In Bella Ciao (2021–present, Edition 52), writer-artist Baru—joined by co-writer Uwe Löhmann—crafts a taut, three-issue crime saga set against the gritty backdrop of modern Italy. This mature, black-and-white series from the French publisher Edition 52 follows the fallout of a botched heist, as old loyalties and buried secrets resurface among a group of former comrades. Baru’s signature, expressive ligne claire style brings a raw, cinematic energy to this compact story of guilt, betrayal, and the inescapable weight of the past.
