Natasja #6

The sixth album in François Walthéry and Maurice Tillieux's beloved Belgian series finds the bright-eyed Natasja rowing confidently across sparkling blue water in a small dinghy, a larger fishing vessel looming behind her as seagulls wheel overhead and a coastal hillside town fills the sunny horizon. The title De dertiende apostel — "The Thirteenth Apostle" — promises an intriguing adventure to match that cheerful Mediterranean atmosphere Walthéry captures so vividly on the cover. A delightful 1978 entry from Dupuis that shows this charming series at its sun-drenched best.
