Koude evenaar #7

Enki Bilal's singular vision fills this 1992 Dutch-language album with brooding intensity — the cover draws together a tense group of weathered, wary figures: two battle-scarred men in the foreground, a young woman and a pale, dark-lipped figure draped in green lurking behind them, all overshadowed by the looming forms of an Anubis-headed deity and a sharp-beaked black bird. The collision of gritty, photo-realistic faces with mythological presences is pure Bilal — unsettling, cinematic, and impossible to look away from. Published by Big Balloon, Koude evenaar #7 is a striking showcase of what made Bilal one of Europe's most distinctive comics voices.
