Douwe Dabbert #21

A Dutch comics treasure, Douwe Dabbert returns in this 2021 album from Uitgeverij L, subtitled Het gemaskerde opperhoofd ("The Masked Chief"). The cover — by Piet Wijn, working alongside writer Thom Roep — depicts the stout, white-bearded Douwe bound with rope while a feathered chief on a rearing horse looms dramatically before a backdrop of tepees and a bison, with young companions looking on in alarm. It's a wonderfully lively Western-flavored tableau that promises adventure and mischief in the beloved tradition of this long-running Dutch series.
