Roodbaard #7

Published by Oberon/Dargaud Benelux in 1980, this seventh Roodbaard adventure — "De Spaanse hinderlaag" (The Spanish Ambush) — features a striking cover by Yves Thos showing a young, fair-haired swordsman poised for action, cutlass in hand, with a dramatic scene of fire and rigging blazing in the background. The tension between the determined figure in the foreground and the chaos of burning ships behind him sets up a high-seas confrontation that feels both urgent and cinematic. Jean-Michel Charlier and Victor Hubinon remain the creative force behind this beloved Dutch-language pirate series, making this a fine entry in the swashbuckling saga.
