Diep in de zee #2

A vivid orange octopus dominates this 2016 Ballon Media cover, its tentacles spreading dramatically across a deep-blue underwater backdrop while a cluster of wide-eyed shadowy sea creatures lurks nervously below. The contrast between the boldly colored cephalopod and the darkened figures beneath it gives the composition an immediately playful tension. By Cazenove and Jytéry, Diep in de Zee #2 looks like a thoroughly entertaining dive into the comic possibilities of ocean life.
