Chlorophyl integraal #3

Raymond Macherot's beloved woodland adventure series gets a handsome third omnibus collection from Scratch Books. The cover sets a wonderfully mischievous tone: a dapper, wide-eyed rat in a top hat and dark coat recoils in comic alarm beside a green writing desk — upon which rests a roast and an oil lamp — while an enormous, menacing shadow looms dramatically behind him against a vivid red background. It's a perfectly composed piece of visual comedy that captures exactly the charm and playful suspense Macherot brought to every page of Chlorophyl.
