Mythen #[nn]

Published by Panda in 1984, this Dutch album Mythen collects Dick Matena's story "Vlees of Het geheime leven van Alfred H." — a title that already hints at something provocative beneath the surface. Matena's cover art assembles a striking collage of pop-cultural figures rendered in warm oranges and reds: a voluptuous blonde, a sharp-suited young man with a pompadour, a boxer, and a card player whose aces fan across the foreground, all layered together in a style that feels both cinematic and dreamlike. It's a bold, stylish package from a creator who handled every aspect of the work himself, from script to lettering layout.
