Kapitein Kreiss #4

The fourth chapter of John Heijink's Dutch sci-fi series brings Kapitein Kreiss and his crew to "De gasmijnen van Gyon" — the gas mines of Gyon. Heijink's cover assembles a tense crew portrait: a spiky-haired figure in an orange flight jacket clutches a heavy rifle, a bald companion in a spacesuit bears a striking bloodstain at his collar, a female crew member in orange stands alert to the left, and a helmeted figure crouches in the foreground — all set against a deep space backdrop filled with imposing capital ships. With every line, shade, and color handled solo by Heijink, this 2015 Arboris release showcases his confident command of science fiction atmosphere and ensemble character work.
