De Kiekeboes #95

Issue 95 of the long-running Belgian family comedy series finds the Kiekeboe clan in a dramatic predicament — the cover shows the whole family caught on a balcony or staircase as fierce flames leap up from below and dark smoke billows around them. Created by Merho, the scene is framed like a painting, adding a playful, tongue-in-cheek twist to what would otherwise be a genuinely tense situation. Subtitled Alles Kitsch, this 2010 album from Standaard Uitgeverij promises that signature blend of humor and heart that has made de Kiekeboes a beloved staple of Dutch-language comics.
