Draak en gif #2

The second volume of Draak en Gif brings Isabelle Bauthian and Rebecca Morse's fantasy adventure roaring forward with "Buikmans en Builenkop," and Rebecca Morse's cover sets the tone perfectly: a hulking, bare-chested brawler and a sharp-eyed young swashbuckler in a red bandana stand protectively over a fallen, colorfully dressed companion, while a skeletal golden dragon looms menacingly in the upper corner and armored silhouettes loom through a smoky backdrop. The trio's mix of grit and swagger makes this a compelling ensemble, and the richly colored chaos — strange creatures scattered across the rocky ground, that ominous draconic presence overhead — promises a world where danger lurks in every shadow. Published by Arboris in 2022, this Dutch-language series delivers the kind of vibrant, character-driven fantasy that fans of European genre comics will find genuinely hard to put down.
