De opstand van Shimabara #2

Two figures stand face-to-face in the snow as a vast samurai army unfurls beneath red banners in the background — a striking composition that mirrors their reflections in the water below, lending the scene an almost meditative tension. Mantero & Parma bring a delicate, painterly line to this second chapter of De opstand van Shimabara, published by Dark Dragon Books in 2024. The cover alone promises a story of confrontation set against the sweeping backdrop of feudal Japan's turbulent conflicts.
