F.C. De Kampioenen #1

The very first album in this beloved Belgian football comedy series kicks off with a lively cover introduction to the colorful cast of F.C. De Kampioenen — a burly mechanic in blue overalls clutching a wrench, a dapper mustachioed man in a bright yellow suit, and a cheerful group of teammates gathered around a football mid-bounce. Created by Hec Leemans and published by Standaard Uitgeverij in 1997, this opening volume sets the stage for the club's adventures with the question right there in the title: Zal 't gaan, ja? — "Will it work out, yeah?" With its warm, expressive art and instantly recognizable characters, this is a wonderfully charming entry point into one of Flanders' most cherished comic series.
