Plankgas #4

The cover of this first volume in the Traject series by Roger Seiter and Johannes Roussel sets the tone immediately: a green vintage racer numbered 26 collides with another car that's been sent tumbling spectacularly into the air, debris scattering across a pale blue sky. Roussel's clean linework and restrained color palette give the scene a grounded, period-authentic feel that recalls the golden age of circuit racing. "Twee Ronden" promises a story steeped in the tension and danger of classic motorsport, and this cover alone makes it hard not to flip straight to page one.
