De Vierde Kracht #1

Juan Gimenez's De Vierde Kracht opens with this striking Dutch-language edition, its cover presenting a young woman with a blue star painted on her cheek, her face framed by vast, intricate biomechanical machinery rendered in Gimenez's signature hyper-detailed style. The contrast between her delicate, human features and the cold, enveloping metal structures around her immediately signals a story where humanity and technology are in close, uneasy proximity. Subtitled Paramentaal, this 2010 Medusa release is a compelling entry point into Gimenez's science-fiction world.
