Boeken der duisternis #1

Eric Van der Heijden's dense, intricate linework dominates this 2018 Bonte collection, presenting an armored figure mounted atop a massive, otherworldly creature rendered in striking black and white detail. The title De heerschappij van de Moeraskoning — "The Reign of the Swamp King" — promises a dark fantasy world of brooding atmosphere, and this Integrale 1e Cyclus gathers the complete first cycle of Boeken der Duisternis into one handsome volume. Fans of richly detailed European fantasy comics will find plenty to admire here.
