De Rode Ridder #51 [kleur]

This Belgian adventure series from Standaard Uitgeverij brings Arthurian legend to life in its 51st color installment, subtitled Excalibur. The cover — with a sword prominently framed in the foreground — sets the mythic tone immediately, as the youthful Red Rider raises a gleaming blade while a star-robed wizard and a white-haired figure look on in a sun-drenched courtyard. Willy Vandersteen's clean, expressive linework gives this 1994 volume the same timeless charm that has made De Rode Ridder a beloved fixture of Dutch-language comics.
