Spyder #2

The second volume of Spyder plunges headlong into high-rise danger with this striking cover by Khaled and Lothelier: a muscular figure dives spread-eagled between towering skyscrapers bathed in a fiery red sky, while a military helicopter hovers ominously above. The composition — body in freefall, city canyon closing in, pursuit from above — captures the breathless, urban-thriller energy that the "Hemelse Draak" ("Heavenly Dragon") subtitle promises. Latour, Khaled, and Lothelier are clearly in confident form with this 2012 Daedalus release, delivering a cover that pulls you straight into the action.
