Suske en Wiske #375

The chess match of a lifetime awaits in Suske en Wiske #375 — De schakende schim, the 375th entry in Willy Vandersteen's beloved Belgian series. The cover by Wout Schoonis presents Wiske and a blonde companion peering intently over a giant chessboard set against a dramatic mountain-and-cloud landscape, while a translucent, ghostly figure looms above the pieces and a red-scarfed Suske tumbles through the air in apparent surprise. It's a wonderfully imaginative setup that blends supernatural mystery with the timeless game of chess, written by Peter Van Gucht and brought to vivid life through Schoonis's linework and Sabine de Meyer's warm colors.
