Suske en Wiske #296

Issue #296 of the beloved Belgian series brings "De Magnifieke Metamorfose" — and the cover alone promises something wonderfully chaotic. The gang is caught mid-scramble in an industrial setting: a tall figure in a green coat throws his arms wide, young Wiske dashes forward in her white dress, a surprised-looking woman rushes in from the right, Suske stands to the left in his red sweater, and a wide-eyed red-nosed character tumbles into the foreground amid a puff of pink smoke. Published by Standaard Uitgeverij in 2007, this installment of Willy Vandersteen's enduring series looks like a thoroughly entertaining ride from the very first glance.
