Man van het jaar #14

The dark, atmospheric cover by Nicolas Siner sets a haunting tone: a lone Germanic warrior, fur-clad and sword in hand, stands amid a shadowy forest strewn with fallen bodies, the grim aftermath of a monumental clash with Rome's legions. This 2022 entry in the Man van het jaar series brings Pécau and Fafner's storytelling to the pivotal year 9 AD, spotlighting the man who brought Rome's military might to its knees. The muted greens and deep shadows of Siner's cover art make this a visually striking volume that draws you straight into the ancient Germanic wilderness.
