I love working with Monica. She has a very distinct style and you always feel that you know what you’re going to get – and then she gives you something even more fantastic. Jeremy and I ooh’d and ahh’d over this page throughout its creation. Speaking for myself, it’s one of the standouts in a volume of very strong work – the color work, Meritaten’s physique, those gorgeous, gauzy drapes!
And, yes, here we are in 1945. It’s 15 years later than the end – and beginning – of our last volume, which saw Victor and Sophia strolling Paris. I think I knew at the outset that this final arc would not only begin farther in the past than ever before, but also take us much farther forward. As you’ll soon see, some things have changed….
