Rommelgem #3

Published by Dupuis in 2023, this third volume of Rommelgem carries the intriguing subtitle "Koolstofatomen en steroïden" — Carbon Atoms and Steroids — hinting at a story where science and intrigue collide. David Etien's cover is immediately arresting: a close-up of a woman with dark curly hair and glasses dominates a swirling blue-grey blizzard, while a small, solitary figure in a brown coat stands far below in the snow beside an ominous crimson stain. The stark contrast between the imposing face above and the lone, vulnerable figure below — with that unsettling splash of red — sets a quietly suspenseful tone that makes you want to turn the page right away.
