Bakelandt #47

The forty-seventh installment of Hec Leemans' beloved Belgian adventure series whisks readers into an atmosphere of intrigue and exotic peril, with a cover dripping in rich, atmospheric detail. A red-haired young woman reclines across a tiger-skin rug in the foreground, while behind her, through an ornate arched doorway, a dark-haired woman in white robes and a masked, turbaned figure loom with quiet menace. Published by Standaard Uitgeverij in 1990, Blanke Slavinnen promises exactly the kind of suspenseful, vividly illustrated storytelling that has kept Bakelandt fans eagerly turning pages for decades.
