The Woman With Fifty Faces HC #1

"The Woman With Fifty Faces HC #1" delves into the enigmatic life of Maria Lani, a self-proclaimed German actress who captivated Paris in 1928. With her charm, she inspired fifty renowned artists, including Matisse and Chagall, to create works that would serve as a backdrop for an unmade film. This beautifully illustrated comic book, crafted by writer Jonathan Lackman and artist Zachary J. Pinson, explores themes of identity and reinvention against the backdrop of a tumultuous Europe, from Poland's antisemitic past to the decadence of 1920s Paris and the Nazi occupation. The book is a stunning visual narrative that captures the essence of Lani's life and the cultural landscape of her time.
