Schatjes #2

A gang of wide-eyed, stylishly rendered girls swarms across the cover of this second volume, chasing after a lone, clearly panicked boy who's sprinting away with his jacket trailing behind him — and the Dutch subtitle Op Mannenjacht! ("On a Man Hunt!") tells you exactly what's going on. Arthur de Pins brings his sleek, big-headed character designs to wonderfully comic effect, capturing both the frantic energy of the pursuers and the sheer terror of the pursued in a single chaotic scene. Published by Silvester in 2009, this is lighthearted, visually snappy fun that fans of de Pins' distinct style will thoroughly enjoy.
