Ik ben een Kathaar #5

The fifth chapter of Makyo and Alessandro Calore's medieval Cathar saga arrives with a cover that perfectly captures its tone: a determined young blond traveler, draped in a flowing blue cloak and laden with a heavy pack, stands watchfully on rain-slicked rocks, a dagger at his belt and a labyrinthine pattern swirling ghostlike in the mist behind him. Calore's painterly linework gives the figure a quiet, road-worn dignity that suits a story titled "Het grote labyrinth" — the great labyrinth. For readers following this Dutch-language series through its spiritual and historical landscape of 13th-century Catharism, this 2014 installment promises another chapter of atmospheric, thoughtfully rendered adventure.
