Krasse Knarren #1

Against a bold yellow background, three elderly figures — one pointing a finger with authority, one hunched in the middle distance, and one raising a pistol with wild white hair — strike poses that crackle with darkly comic energy. This 2014 Dargaud Benelux opener, "Doodgaan kan altijd nog" ("Dying Can Wait"), teams writer Wilfrid Lupano with artist Paul Cauuet for what the title alone promises will be a deadpan, irreverent adventure starring seniors who clearly aren't ready to go quietly. Cauuet's stark silhouette-style cover art — all high-contrast blacks against that striking yellow — sets a wonderfully dry, stylish tone for the series.
