Ci Vediamo
I should start this off with a disclaimer: the sample below is technically only half a sample, as the construction of this comic makes it difficult to sample a page fully without giving away the meaning that comes from putting two pages together. That’s probably not going to make sense to you unless you’re holding the book, so I should just start at the beginning. The title is an Italian phrase that means “we’ll see each other” and the book deals with two people who are either entering or leaving a relationship. Or they’re just the two proverbial ships passing in the night, but it’s open to interpretation. Anyway, several of the pages are transparent with images imposed on them, so when you turn one page it causes those images to show up on the previous page. When you put that page over the page sampled below the meaning changes considerably, which is why I was leery about the best way to sample it. It’s a short melancholy tale, and I just now pieced together that last page, which makes it a little less sad. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it, which is always a welcome thing in the world of mini comics. She also won a Xeric award for this, proving once again that those folks know what they’re doing. $6
