Rampokan #[nn]

Peter van Dongen's Rampokan brings a richly atmospheric colonial-era street scene to life on this Oog & Blik Classics edition — a young man strides through a bustling tropical city while a pedicab cyclist passes nearby, all under the looming, spectral visage of a snarling tiger that dominates the crimson sky above the Art Deco buildings. Van Dongen's linework and coloring set a mood that is equal parts adventure and unease, evoking a world on the edge of something momentous. A beautifully crafted volume that rewards anyone drawn to historically grounded graphic storytelling.
