Suske en Wiske Classics #25

Part of Standaard Uitgeverij's Classics reprint series, this 25th volume collects the beloved Belgian duo's adventure "De Mottenvanger" in a handsome new edition. The cover sets a wonderfully chaotic scene in what appears to be an ancient Greek or Roman setting — Suske in a small Roman soldier's outfit brandishes a sword while a robed figure has a large clay amphora dropped squarely over their head, as a startled Wiske looks on and a young girl watches from the background near a flaming altar. W. Vandersteen's bright, expressive linework is as charming as ever, making this a great pick-up whether you're rediscovering the series or adding to your Classics collection.
