Space Reich #1

A sleek, iron-cross-marked rocket stands poised for launch at the center of a vast swastika-emblazoned launch complex in this striking 2022 Belgian album from Daedalus. Marko Nikolić's cover art — rendered with cool, precise detail — frames the towering spacecraft against a hazy horizon, the surrounding gantries and Nazi iconography conjuring an unsettling alternate-history vision of space conquest. "Het duel der adelaars" ("The Duel of the Eagles") sets the stage for what looks to be a tense, speculative clash between rival powers reaching for the stars.
