F.C. De Kampioenen #8

The beloved Belgian comedy series by Hec Leemans hits the road in this 1999 installment, as the team ventures away from home turf. The cover captures the gang mid-arrival — a rotund cook in chef's whites, players carrying luggage, and a redhead stepping off the team bus — all gathering in front of a roadside café on what looks like a grey, drizzly day. Kampioenen op Verplaatsing ("Champions on the Road") promises the kind of cheerful, fish-out-of-water camaraderie that has made F.C. De Kampioenen a staple of Flemish comics.
