Khaal Kronieken van een Galactische Keizer #2

The cover of this second volume in Khaal: Kronieken van een Galactische Keizer is a striking, painterly composition by Valentin Sécher, presenting a brooding, shaven-headed man at its center, surrounded by a press of alien and humanoid figures — among them a horned, tattooed warrior and a blue-skinned figure — all rendered in rich, sensual tones that feel closer to Renaissance fresco than standard comics art. The Dutch-language release from Dark Dragon Books gives European readers a chance to experience this 2014 science-fantasy saga of a galactic emperor in a beautifully produced package. With Louis and Studio K crafting the story and Sécher handling line art and color throughout, this is a creative team working in confident, ambitious harmony.
