Bakelandt #61

The fifty-first installment of this beloved Belgian adventure series from Standaard Uitgeverij brings "De Wraak van de Grote Bende" — The Revenge of the Great Gang — and the cover sets a tense, atmospheric mood. A red-haired young woman and a turbaned figure are cornered among barrels in what looks like a ship's hold, while a cloaked, sinister figure with a distinctive green bow tie looms in the foreground. Hec Leemans delivers a cover full of shadowy intrigue that captures the swashbuckling spirit that has made Bakelandt a staple of Flemish comics since the series began.
