Kroniek der Onsterfelijken #6

Two figures dominate this atmospheric cover under a stormy night sky: a kneeling man in rough medieval clothing cradles a glowing, ember-like object, while a tall, dark-robed figure stands imposingly behind him beside a wooden cross. Chaiko Cai Feng's artwork brings a brooding, otherworldly tension to De genadeslag 2, the second part of a story arc that promises confrontation between mortals and something far more dangerous. This 2016 Dutch-language album from Strip2000 continues the Kroniek der Onsterfelijken series based on Wolfgang Hohlbein's work, and that smoldering light in the kneeling figure's hands hints that the stakes couldn't be higher.
