Centaurus #3

Three imposing, insectoid-armored figures dominate the cover of Centaurus #3 — "Het Waanzinnige Land" — looming over what appear to be prone, helpless human forms at their feet. The creative team of Leo, Rodolphe, and Janjetov brings a genuinely unsettling tension to this Dutch-language science fiction series, with Janjetov's detailed biomechanical designs giving these towering figures an alien menace that's hard to shake. If this 2017 installment is any indication, Centaurus is the kind of ambitious European SF album that rewards readers who appreciate world-building with real weight behind it.
