Piotruś Pan #5

Régis Loisel's reimagining of the Peter Pan myth takes a darkly compelling turn in this 2003 Egmont Polska edition, with a cover that puts the menacing Captain Hook front and center — wild-eyed, sneering, red cape swept around him, his infamous iron hook gleaming as he levels it toward the viewer like a threat. Loisel's cover art renders Hook with a raw, almost grotesque intensity that feels far removed from any storybook version you've encountered before. If this volume's title, "Hak" (Hook), tells you anything, it's that the pirate captain is finally getting his moment in the spotlight.
