Snippers #8

The eighth volume of Aimée de Jongh's Snippers series, subtitled "Episch verantwoord," bursts with chaotic energy right from the cover: a wide-eyed, green-haired kid sprints across a crumbling rope bridge clutching a flaming torch, while a bespectacled companion tumbles helplessly on top of them — all against a blazing backdrop of erupting volcanoes, an ancient stepped pyramid, and even a UFO lurking in the fiery sky. De Jongh handles every aspect of the book herself — writing, drawing, inking, coloring, and lettering — and that total creative ownership gives the series a wonderfully unified comic energy. At 8,95 EUR from Strip2000, this 2017 adventure looks like an absolute blast for younger readers and anyone who loves their comics loud, colorful, and completely over the top.
