De meesters van de gerst #6

The sixth chapter of Van Hamme and Vallès' sweeping Belgian brewing saga turns its focus to Jay in 1973, as the subtitle on this elegantly understated cover makes clear. Vallès renders the protagonist — a sharp-jawed, blond man in a dark suit — with quiet confidence against a warm golden-green background, letting the character's composed intensity speak for itself. If you've been following this generational drama of family, ambition, and the art of brewing, this 1997 Glénat volume keeps the series' measured, sophisticated tone firmly intact.
