De oorlog van de Sambers #2

Two small oval portrait miniatures — a red-haired young man and a dark-haired young woman — are framed against the looming, close-cropped face of a mysterious figure whose crimson eyes dominate the composition, creating an atmosphere of gothic tension and brooding romance. Yslaire's writing, brought to life through the illustrations of Bastide & Mezil, sets the stage for Hugo & Iris in this second installment of De oorlog van de Sambers, subtitled "Deel Herfst 1830." The warm, painterly tones and Victorian sensibility make this 2008 Glénat release a compelling entry in the series.
