Bruce J. Hawker #5

This fifth installment of the Bruce J. Hawker series brings together the talents of writer André-Paul Duchâteau and the multifaceted William Vance — who handles both writing and art — for a story titled "Alles of niets" ("All or Nothing"). Vance's cover art, finished with coloring by Petra, sets the tone for what promises to be a high-stakes maritime adventure centered on the swashbuckling British sailor at the heart of this Belgian series. Published by Le Lombard in 1988, it's a fine example of the Franco-Belgian comics tradition at work.
