Reino #6

Band 6 of Burkhard Ihme's Reino series arrives with a cover that plunges readers straight into high-altitude chaos — a cable car gondola tilts wildly above churning waters, its passengers tumbling and scrambling as the whole contraption threatens to come apart mid-crossing. Ihme's detailed linework captures every anxious grip and flailing limb with a wry expressiveness that's equal parts thriller and dark comedy. "Tosendes Desaster" ("Roaring Disaster") is a fitting title for this 1986 German album, and the cover makes a compelling case that Reino's misadventures are in very good hands.
