Goud aan de andere kant van de wereld #2

The lush, shadow-dappled jungle sets a vivid stage on Xavier Delaporte's cover for this 2022 Belgian album, where a rugged, determined man — Doug himself, presumably — stands knife in hand amid dense tropical foliage, while a woman in period dress and at least one other figure linger cautiously behind him. Writers Philippe Esnos and Jérôme Félix bring their adventure series to its second chapter with this subtly tense image that hints at danger lurking just beyond the green canopy. If the promise of gold at the other side of the world and a cast of characters navigating untamed wilderness sounds appealing, Doug delivers an atmospheric invitation to dive in.
