Tom Poes #4

A charming entry in the beloved Dutch comics series by Marten Toonder, this fourth volume finds Tom Poes and his bear companion Olivier B. Bommel emerging dramatically from a magician's top hat while clutching a glowing book — with a looming, wide-eyed giant figure reaching toward them in the background. The cover's whimsical, hand-painted style perfectly captures the playful magical mischief suggested by the subtitle En het Toverboekje ("and the little magic book"). Published in 2017 by Uitgeverij Cliché, it's a delightful showcase of Toonder's enduringly warm and imaginative world.
