Donjon Monsters #9

Plunging into the eerie underwater world of Donjon Monsters, this 2018 Silvester edition — "De bewoners van de diepten" (The Inhabitants of the Deep) — brings together the storytelling talents of Lewis Trondheim and Joann Sfar with Killoffer's wonderfully strange cover art. The image pulls you straight into the depths: towering coral-like columns rise from a sea floor scattered with orbs, while a small armored mouse-like warrior brandishes a spear amid the chaos of a winged, griffin-esque creature grappling with a bulbous green sea-monster draped in tentacles and organic debris. Killoffer's linework gives the whole scene a delightfully grotesque energy that perfectly captures the monstrous spirit of the Donjon universe.
