Kapitein Kreiss #4

The fourth chapter of John Heijink's Dutch sci-fi series brings Kapitein Kreiss to "De gasmijnen van Gyon," and the cover sets a tense, battle-worn mood. A spiky-haired figure in an orange flight jacket grips a heavy rifle in the foreground, while a bald, sunglasses-wearing spacefarer looms behind him — bloodied but clearly still standing — and a female crew member in matching gear watches warily to the left, all framed against a star-filled sky crowded with imposing warships. Heijink handles every line, ink, and color himself, and that unified vision gives the ensemble a gritty, lived-in energy that makes this 2015 Arboris release a compelling entry in the series.
