Simak #2

The second chapter of Jerry Frissen and Jean-Michel Ponzio's Simak series arrives with a striking cover that puts a determined man front and center, aiming a futuristic multi-barreled pistol straight at the viewer against a dramatic backdrop of Earth seen from orbit. Flanking him are three other figures — a young woman with natural hair, a sharply dressed man in a coat, and a brooding figure looming in the background — hinting at a cast full of conflicting agendas. Subtitled Dodelijke Spelletjes ("Deadly Games"), this 2020 Daedalus release promises a sleek sci-fi thriller with real tension built right into its gorgeous cover design.
