Kogaratsu #2

The second volume in this Belgian samurai series brings "De schat van de Eta" to life with a striking cover by Michetz — rendered largely in delicate monochrome linework with warm orange accents, it depicts the warrior Kogaratsu holding a fallen or resting woman, a katana rising behind him and a tall sailing ship visible in the misty background. The composition balances tenderness and tension in a way that feels distinctly cinematic, showcasing Michetz's elegant draftsmanship. Published by Dupuis in 1986, this Spotlight edition is a fine example of the sophisticated storytelling ambition that defined European comics of the era.
