Bakelandt #38

Issue 38 of Hec Leemans' long-running Belgian series brings "De Pacificateur" to life with a gripping cover that pulls you straight into the action. A dark-clad figure tumbles dramatically through the air above a stone-walled setting, while two other characters below react with alarm and urgency. It's a vivid, kinetic snapshot that captures the scrappy street-level tension Bakelandt fans have come to love, rendered in the series' reliably expressive style by Standaard Uitgeverij's go-to team.
