Description

“This book makes no claims to scientific validity and is in no way intended for informational purposes.” So declares Miguel Vila in the outset of his new graphic novel, Comfortless, a taxonomy of the masks with which we pretend to live, executed with the precision of a master sociologist.

Giorgia ends her relationship with Eva because she thinks her fling with Nic has resulted in her pregnancy. Nic has a secret to reveal to Daniele, but he can’t express it.
