Literaire klassiekers in beeld #2

Part of Dark Dragon Books' "De Grote Klassieken uit de Literatuur in Strips" series, this 2022 adaptation brings Emilio Salgari's swashbuckling adventure to vivid comic-book life. The cover, by Stefano Enna and Nico Tamburo, places the fierce, blue-turbaned Sandokan front and center — twin curved blades drawn, a snarling tiger prowling at his side — set against a lush tropical jungle with a red-sailed junk gliding across the waters behind him. It's a striking visual introduction to one of literature's most enduring adventure heroes, rendered with real energy and care.
