Franka #15

The fifteenth album in the beloved Dutch Franka series brings Henk Kuijpers's adventurous redhead back in "De ogen van de roerganger." The cover, drawn and inked by Kuijpers, captures a tense three-way struggle on rocky terrain beside a rushing waterfall: Franka sprints across the top clutching what appears to be a book or package, while a blond man and a dark-haired woman in black clash below — a whip, a pistol, and a small white animal adding to the charged scene. It's a crisp, dynamic composition that showcases exactly the kind of globe-trotting tension that has made Franka a cherished fixture of European adventure comics since 1997.
