This fantastic 2020 graphic novel [Amazon] by Italian film director and artist Gipi (aka Gianni Pacinotti) interweaves multiple storylines to tell the tale of an institutionalized writer and his great grandfather's experiences in World War One. I love how the art switches back and forth between delicate line work and full tonal watercolor paintings to change timelines. The each panel is a masterful watercolor on its own and yet the sequence of images flows smoothly. Maybe it's that Gipi is also a film director which informs his storytelling style with the effective use of lighting and pacing. (Now I need to find his films.)
