Complot #2

The cover of this Dutch-language thriller album says it all: looking straight up between the towering skyscrapers of a city canyon, dollar bills spiral chaotically into a blood-red, smoke-choked sky, with the word "CRASH" bleeding through the haze above — a visceral image of financial catastrophe in the making. Complot #2, subtitled "De krach van 1929," promises a conspiratorial dive into the world-shaking collapse of the stock market, rendered here with genuinely unsettling atmosphere by the creative team of Gihef, Alcante, and Brahy. Published in 2016 by Daedalus, this album looks like a gripping blend of historical intrigue and thriller tension for readers who like their history served with a sharp edge.
