A love story told elliptically in stunning watercolors. Winner of the prestigious Grand Prize of the 2010 Angouleme Comics Festival, 5,000 Kilometers Per Second tellsor almost tellsthe love story between Piero and Lucia, which begins with a casual glance exchanged by teenagers across the street through a window and ends with a last, desperate hookup between two older, sadder onetime lovers. Executed in stunning watercolors and broken down into five chapters (set in Italy, Norway, Egypt, and Italy again), 5,000 Kilometers Per Second manages to refer to Piero and Lucias actual love story only obliquely, focusing instead on its first stirrings and then episodes in their life during which they are separateda narrative twist that makes it even more poignant and heartwrenching. 5,000 Kilometers Per Second is another delicate graphicnovel masterpiece from Europe. Fullcolor illustrations throughout
