Jommeke #314

Number 314 in the long-running Belgian series, Griezels in het Woud sends Jommeke and his companions deep into a darkened forest where something lurking in the shadows — a massive, glowing-eyed creature half-hidden among the trees — has the group on edge and armed with walking sticks. The cover, signed by Jef Nys, captures that perfect blend of mild menace and wide-eyed adventure that has made this series a staple of Flemish comics, with Jommeke's trusty parrot Flip perched cheerfully at the top corner as if blissfully unaware of the woodland danger below. A fine 2023 addition to the series from Standaard Uitgeverij for fans young and old.
