Mafia

A sprawling, sun-baked crime saga from Italian publisher Elvifrance, Mafia (1982–present) chronicles the brutal rise and tangled loyalties of organized crime across nine issues. The series is most famously defined by the lush, painterly covers and interior art of Emanuele Taglietti, whose vivid, cinematic style gave the underworld a glamorous yet menacing edge. A cornerstone of the European adult comics boom, it remains a potent, visually striking exploration of power and corruption.
