Harlequin Valentine

In this 2011 one-shot from Panini Deutschland, a lone issue reimagines the classic commedia dell'arte figure as a mysterious, modern-day trickster. The story follows Harlequin as they play a cryptic, romantic game with a young woman, blending European folklore with a contemporary German sensibility. While a single issue, it stands as a distinct, self-contained graphic novella, notable for its atmospheric art and its exploration of love, identity, and the masks we wear.
