Marzena Sowa presents Poland under the domination of the Soviet Union and on the brink of revolution in her memoir Marzi, illustrated by Belgian cartoonist Sylvain Savoia. Arranged into a sequence of vignettes, the stories are told from young Marzi’s perspective, as she struggles to make sense of the soviet-controlled and adult world. In this three page preview, Marzi anxiously waits for her father to return from work and comes to realize that there are more complex and dangerous worries involved in his delay. Marzi was released by Vertigo in October.
