Franka #22

Franka's twenty-second adventure, "Onderwereld," arrives with a cover by Henk Kuijpers that immediately pulls you into the tension: red-haired Franka dangles in darkness, gripping a chain that stretches up through a circular opening to a white-haired man peering down from what appears to be a snow-swept scene above. The stark contrast between the pitch-black void below and the icy world above gives the image a genuinely unsettling depth. Kuijpers — handling writing, art, inking, and lettering himself — brings his signature clean ligne claire style to what promises to be a gripping underworld thriller.
