Jommeke #278

Number 278 in the long-running Belgian series, this 2015 Ballon Media album sends Jommeke and friends into a new adventure titled "Het Nianmonster." The cover — drawn and inked by Sarina Ahmad-Nys — bursts with cheerful chaos: young Jommeke appears twice in the foreground and background, a startled woman in a white headscarf clutches a golden vase while a colorful parrot swoops overhead, and a bespectacled man reacts with wide-eyed alarm. It's a lively, warm snapshot of the playful energy that has made Jommeke a beloved fixture of Dutch-language comics.
