Het eiland Bourbon 1730 #[nn]

Set on a sun-drenched tropical island in 1730, this Dutch-language album from Silvester brings together a wonderfully odd cast of cartoon characters beneath swaying palm trees — a scruffy bird-like figure in a frock coat, a towering intimidating pirate with an eye patch and feathered hat, and several other quirky companions gathered on a small sandy shore. Writers Appollo and Gert Jan Pos team up with artist Lewis Trondheim, whose cover linework captures a playful yet swashbuckling spirit that feels both lighthearted and genuinely adventurous. With the story titled "De vogels," this colonial-era romp looks like a treat for fans of Trondheim's distinctive cartooning style.
