Het godvrrgeten eiland #2

The cover of this 2014 Strip2000 release sets a deliciously chaotic tone: a wide-eyed bartender and a startled pirate-type cower behind a tiki bar as a swarm of rotting, grinning zombies closes in under a blood-red tropical sky. Luc Cromheecke's artwork packs the scene with gloriously grotesque undead detail — skulls, shambling skeletons, and decaying figures stretching as far as the eye can see — all rendered with a wonderfully anarchic cartoon energy. If this is "Het geheime wapen," the secret weapon on this godforsaken island, you can only imagine what Sti and Cromheecke have cooked up inside.
