Critique de Luna Park

Danijel Zezelj showcases his talent once again in this gripping graphic novel. The dark, violent, and twilight-like universe of the story matches perfectly with the artist's signature style. The complex narrative structure, featuring several flashbacks and nested motifs, adds depth to the overall story. The most striking aspect of the book is Zezelj's haunting artwork, even though the monochrome color palette robs it of some of its artistic power. The ample and captivating texts on the history of Russia provide a fitting backdrop to the melancholy tone of the illustrations. This graphic novel is a fascinating and disturbing read, and it is worth discovering for the mesmerizing talent of a unique artist.
