Jommeke #316

A cheerful parade of characters — including Jommeke himself, a royal guard in a tall bearskin hat, a police officer, and several colorful companions — dashes across a zebra crossing in classic Belgian comics style, while a stern military figure (General Vlamkruit, presumably) looks on from beside a white Volkswagen Beetle. Cover artist Jef Nys brings the whole lively ensemble together with the bright, clean line work that has made this long-running Flemish series so endearing. Issue #316, published by Standaard Uitgeverij in 2023, promises an adventure full of the good-natured energy that defines Jommeke at his best.
