Jeremiah Johnson #2

The sweeping cover of this 2023 Dutch-language release from Daedalus sets a grand, wintry stage — a weathered mountain man with a full beard and wide-brimmed hat looms large above the scene, while a stoic Native American figure and a warrior charging through snow with a tomahawk command the foreground, all beneath soaring birds of prey in a pale, mist-shrouded sky. Jack Jadson's linework, brought to vivid life by Nuria Sayago's colors, captures the rugged tension of the frontier with real painterly atmosphere. Writers Fred Duval and Jean-Pierre Pécau continue their saga in Hoofdstuk II, and if this striking cover is any indication, the wilderness and its conflicts remain as unforgiving as ever.
