Nero: De Stallaert jaren #1

A wonderful archival collection celebrating the Stallaert era of Marc Sleen's beloved Belgian strip, this 2018 Standaard Uitgeverij hardcover opens with a cover brimming with comic energy: the portly, bow-tied Nero clutches a gleaming royal crown while young Adhemar dashes alongside him, a Beefeater guard in hot pursuit past ornate iron gates. It's a wonderfully chaotic snapshot of the series' signature blend of slapstick and adventure that made Nero a cornerstone of Flemish comics history.
