Adler - De tweekoppige adelaar #1

Set against a sky torn apart by wartime aerial combat, the cover of this 2018 Dupuis album places a steely-eyed young pilot in the foreground while Messerschmitt fighters — one wreathed in flame — clash dramatically behind him. Damien Andrieu's cover art captures both the personal and the epic, pairing that cool, guarded expression with the chaos of dogfighting aircraft to signal a story where duty and deception run side by side. "Een leugentje om bestwil" ("A little white lie") is the intriguing subtitle for this opening chapter of *Adler — De tweekoppige adelaar*, written by Patrice Buendia, and it promises a WWII aviation adventure with more on its mind than simple heroics.
