Grillige geschiedenis #1

Part of Silvester's "Grillige Geschiedenis" series, this 2023 Belgian graphic novel opens with "De lijfwacht van Massoud" — a story brought to life by writer Jean-Pierre Pécau and artist Renato Arlem. The cover, illustrated and inked by Arlem, sets a striking scene: a heavily armed fighter stands foreground on a rocky Afghan mountainside, his green jacket and bandolier immediately commanding attention, while two more figures and a weapon-mounted position are visible in the rugged, snow-capped landscape behind him. It's a grounded, atmospheric image that promises a tense, historically rooted tale of loyalty and conflict in the shadow of the Hindu Kush.
