Illustrierte Klassiker Sonderband #39

This 2025 entry in BSV Hannover's Illustrierte Klassiker Sonderband series brings the legendary Pacific voyages of James Cook to vivid comic-book life. Peter Jackson's cover painting places Cook in his naval uniform at the center of a tense beachside confrontation, with indigenous warriors pressing in on one side and a longboat of sailors pushing ashore through the surf on the other — a tall ship visible on the horizon completing the dramatic scene. Interior art by Raúl Alva promises the same energy throughout this sweeping account of exploration, encounter, and discovery on the open Pacific.
