Het Jacobs teken - Een leven in stripvorm #[nn]

A love letter to Belgian comics history, this 2012 album by Louis Alloing imagines a mid-century Brussels street scene alive with the energy of the golden age of the bande dessinée. The cover places a man in a yellow trenchcoat and hat — portfolio tucked under his arm — striding confidently across wet cobblestones, surrounded by vintage automobiles, a tram, and advertisement billboards referencing beloved Franco-Belgian comic characters and titles. Alloing's draftsmanship is meticulous and warmly atmospheric, evoking a city where comics were woven into the very fabric of everyday life.
