Philemon #13

Fred's surrealist masterpiece Philemon continues with "De Kat met de Negen Staarten" — and the cover alone makes a striking case for the series' singular imagination. A vast, otherworldly cat's face dominates the image, its enormous hypnotic eyes ringed in vivid concentric circles of red and yellow, while choppy ocean waves surge at its base and a tiny, solitary figure floats vulnerably in a small boat far below. The sheer scale contrast between the immense feline presence and that lone traveler on the water sets a mood that is by turns dreamlike and quietly unsettling — a perfect invitation into Fred's fantastical universe.
