Donjon Zenit #1

From the celebrated creative partnership of Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim, this Dutch-language edition of Donjon Zenit opens the series with a cover that immediately sets the tone: a small, grinning duck-hero in white faces down a looming pair of skeletal, monstrous creatures against a rich dark red background. The contrast between the plucky, almost cheerful protagonist and the genuinely menacing undead figures behind him captures the series' signature blend of humor and dark fantasy perfectly. Published in 2003 by Uitgeverij M under the title Eendenhart, this is a fine entry point into one of European comics' most inventive and beloved fantasy worlds.
