U-47 #13

The Dutch-language WWII submarine series U-47 reaches its thirteenth installment with "In de klauwen van de SS" — "In the Claws of the SS" — promising a tense confrontation with Nazi Germany's most feared internal force. Gerardo Balsa's split-level cover says it all: above the waterline, a looming warship cuts through the grey seas trailing smoke, while below, the U-boat glides in eerie green-lit silence as torpedoes streak toward their target. It's a striking visual that captures the deadly cat-and-mouse tension this series, written by Mark Jennison with colors by Nicolas Caniaux, does so well.
