Franka #24

Franka's 24th album, Operatie Roofmoord, arrives in 2019 with a cover by Henk Kuijpers that sets an immediately engaging scene: the sharp-dressed, red-haired Franka crouches defiantly atop what appears to be a fortified treasury chest while a menacing black-clad figure looms behind her, clutching a money bag and a gun with scattered banknotes filling the air. It's a crisp, clean composition that captures the blend of suspense and adventure the series is known for, and Kuijpers' confident linework keeps every element — hero, villain, and flying cash — vivid and distinct.
