Jerome K. Jerome Bloks #7

A tense, sun-drenched cover sets the mood for this seventh volume in Dodier's Jerome K. Jerome Bloks series — a trench-coated man and a wide-eyed young companion press together beside a battered red truck as massive, looming vehicles cast ominous shadows against a fiery orange sky. The title Vol Pension promises intrigue on the road, and the composition crackles with the kind of cinematic urgency that made Franco-Belgian adventure comics so compelling in 1991. Dodier's clean, expressive linework gives both characters a palpable sense of unease that will have you turning pages from the very first panel.
