Bakelandt #69

The deck of a sailing ship becomes a battleground on this 1996 entry in Hec Leemans' long-running Belgian adventure series, as Bakelandt grapples fiercely with a burly sailor while companions look on amid barrels and rigging. The Dutch title Een Wapen voor Eire — "A Weapon for Ireland" — hints at high-stakes intrigue on the high seas. It's a vivid, action-packed cover that captures exactly the swashbuckling spirit fans of the series have come to love.
