Man van het jaar #10

Against a sky burning a fierce, hellish orange, a lone figure stands on a cracked wooden dock as the London skyline is consumed by an inferno — boats fleeing across the river behind him — in this 2017 Dutch-language entry in the Man van het jaar series. The cover art by Manchu and Fred Blanchard perfectly captures the dread and scale of the Great Fire of London, framing the solitary man at its center with an eerie, almost mythic stillness. Writers Fred Duval and Nicolas Moustey, alongside artist Stevan Subic, bring this historical catastrophe to life in a story promising one man's fateful connection to one of history's most devastating urban disasters.
