Pim #1

Rob van Barneveld launches his Pim series with this energetic first album, subtitled "De schat van Salami" — the treasure of Salami. The cover sets the adventure in motion aboard a wooden ship's deck, where a gruff, bearded pirate and a grinning monkey-like creature loom menacingly while a wide-eyed boy in a red sweater and a purple-haired girl scramble in alarm, with a tropical island — complete with a smoking volcano — visible across the water behind them. Every line, color, and character here is the work of Rob van Barneveld, whose loose, playful style gives the whole scene a wonderfully chaotic charm that's sure to appeal to younger readers and fans of humorous Dutch comics alike.
