G. Raf Zerk #8

The eighth adventure of G. Raf Zerk arrives with a cover that's equal parts alarming and darkly comic — the series' wide-eyed, wild-haired hero clutches a shovel while surrounded by an enormous sea of grinning skulls stretching in every direction across a sickly yellow-green landscape. Cauvin and Hardy deliver a tableau that perfectly captures the series' knack for mixing genuine unease with irreverent humor, leaving you wondering exactly how Zerk landed himself in this particular predicament. Published by Dupuis in 1991, Door het oog van de naald ("Through the Eye of the Needle") promises another chaotic ride for fans of Belgian comics at their most gleefully absurd.
