Jimmy van Doren #12

The twelfth and final chapter of Jimmy van Doren bids the series a fitting farewell with a cover that captures the spirit of the whole adventure — Jimmy himself cutting across a sun-drenched tropical waterway in a sleek red motorboat, palm trees and low jungle structures reflected in the amber-hued river behind him. Desberg and Desorgher close out their run with a 2006 album whose Dutch title, Tot ziens, Jimmy — "Goodbye, Jimmy" — gives the scene an unmistakable sense of a hero racing toward one last horizon. It's a warm, bittersweet send-off for fans who've followed this globetrotting series from the start.
