Het venijn #4

The fourth volume of Het Venijn arrives with a cover that immediately draws the eye: a young woman in a billowing white Victorian dress stands poised atop a rooftop beam, one hand raised as a luminous blue ribbon of energy swirls from her fingertips, while a gaslit cityscape glows warmly beneath a dramatic purple-orange sky. Laurent Astier's linework — he handles both the writing and the art alongside co-writer Dieter Van Tilburgh and colorist Stéphane Astier — gives the scene a graceful tension, balancing elegance with unmistakable danger. With the subtitle "Hemelblauw" (Sky Blue), this 2022 installment promises atmosphere and otherworldly intrigue in equal measure.
