Mieleke Melleke Mol #1

The opening number of Mieleke Melleke Mol arrives from Standaard Uitgeverij with a cover by Dirk Stallaert that sets a wonderfully playful tone — two young children ride atop a massive, cheerfully decorated elephant rolling along on a wheeled platform, while a flustered figure on a motorcycle scrambles to get out of the way below. It's a bright, warm image full of comic energy that signals exactly the kind of lighthearted adventure waiting inside with story "Geen eitjes, geen snoepjes." A great starting point for readers of all ages looking for Belgian comics fun.
