SfinX #1

The first volume of René Bergmans' SfinX kicks off with a cover full of chaotic, feather-filled fun — four young women in the middle of an enthusiastic pillow fight, with a fifth caught crouching at the center taking the brunt of it all, feathers flying everywhere against a bright pink background. Subtitled Slaapfeestje ("Slumber Party"), this 2016 Belgian album sets a playful, energetic tone right from the start. Bergmans handles art, inking, and coloring himself, and the vibrant, cartoonish style makes this an appealing pick for fans of lighthearted, character-driven humor comics.
