Agent 327 #12

Martin Lodewijk's beloved Dutch spy series returns with Dossier Twaalf — De Vergeten Bom, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: a square-jawed Agent 327 clutches a revolver while a glamorous blonde in an orange dress looms behind him, casually relieving him of what appears to be a golden object — all against a starry backdrop featuring a rocket tower and a sleek airship. The dynamic between the wary agent and the dangerously charming woman captures everything that makes this series such a joy — equal parts spy thriller and sharp comedy. Lodewijk's signature caricature style is as appealing as ever in this 2013 installment from Uitgeverij L.
