Ekhö de spiegelwereld #8

In this 2019 Dutch-language volume from Uitgeverij L, the cover by Alessandro Barbucci sets a thrillingly surreal scene above the Manhattan skyline: a pale, white-haired woman in elegant attire is ensnared by enormous red tentacles, a wine glass still raised in her hand, while two other figures — one a dark-skinned woman below her, another man to the right — are similarly caught in the creature's grip. The moody nocturnal cityscape and that ominous, writhing mass make the "Sirene van Manhattan" premise feel both glamorous and genuinely unsettling. Arleston, Manfré, and Barbucci continue their mirror-world adventures with a visual style that blends European bande dessinée elegance with wonderfully bizarre fantasy.
