Kinderen in het verzet #5

The fifth volume of Kinderen in het Verzet — "Een verscheurd land" — arrives in 2019 from Le Lombard, with Benoît Ers's cover artwork setting a tense wartime mood straight away. A determined young boy pushes forward against a backdrop of barbed wire, while a circular inset reveals three children navigating a small motorboat through a reed-filled waterway — shadowy soldier figures and a wartime landscape looming in the background. Writer Dugomier and artist/cover illustrator Benoît Ers continue their story of children caught up in the dangers of occupation, and this instalment looks to deliver more quiet courage under difficult skies.
