Moeder Amerika #3

Two armed men dominate this striking cover — a sharp-suited blond man brandishing a pistol in the foreground and a second figure behind him, rifle in hand and hat pulled low, both set against a deep crimson sky above a bustling early twentieth-century American street scene of trams and city blocks. Maël's artwork balances gritty tension with elegant linework, perfectly capturing the charged atmosphere suggested by the subtitle "De zomer kleurt rood" — The Summer Turns Red. Written by Kris and illustrated by Maël, this 2022 Daedalus edition is a compelling entry in the Moeder Amerika series for anyone drawn to richly drawn historical crime drama.
