Het Verzet #1

Two warplanes cut through a smoldering, orange-tinged sky as a crowd of civilians scrambles through a small village in panic — and crouched behind the broad chrome grille of a cream-colored vintage car, three young people huddle close, seeking shelter from the chaos all around them. Plumail and Derrien set a vivid, anxious scene for this opening chapter of Het Verzet, a four-part series whose very title — "The Resistance" — signals the human stakes at the heart of the story. Scarlett Smulkowski's warm, smoky palette gives the cover a cinematic tension that makes "De oproep" (The Call) a compelling start to what promises to be a gripping wartime saga.
