Monster #1

This Dutch-language edition of Naoki Urasawa's acclaimed psychological thriller opens with a striking blue-toned portrait of Dr. Kenzo Tenma in surgical attire, paired with a stark blood-red splash that sets an immediately unsettling tone. The cover text establishes the setting — Düsseldorf, West Germany, 1986 — and frames Tenma's fateful decision to defy his superiors and save a child's life as the spark of something deeply troubling. Published by Balloon Books under the Kana Big label, this 2007 Nederlandstalige versie makes Urasawa's tense, morally complex storytelling accessible to Dutch-speaking readers in a handsome package.
