F.C. De Kampioenen #60

Issue 60 of the beloved Belgian series brings "De Erfenis van Maurice," and the cover sets a delightfully spooky tone — a looming black skeleton reaches out menacingly as a group of panicked characters career through a ghost-train tunnel in a flame-decorated cart, while a small child crawls nearby and a dog watches from the sidelines. Hec Leemans delivers the series' signature blend of slapstick chaos and comic dread, with the fiery imagery and terrified expressions promising plenty of laughs wrapped in mock-horror. A fun 2009 entry for fans of this enduringly popular Flemish comic.
