U-47 #14

The fourteenth chapter of this long-running Dutch-language WWII submarine series delivers a cover that puts you right in the thick of the Battle of the Atlantic: a U-boat rides the surface at night while a warship blazes dramatically in the background, and a German flying boat sweeps overhead — sea, sky, and fire converging in one tense scene rendered by Gerardo Balsa with striking nocturnal atmosphere. Titled "Alliantie van het kwaad" ("Alliance of Evil"), the issue promises the kind of dangerous naval intrigue this series does so well, with writer Mark Jennison and Ben Kamphuis shaping the story and Nicolas Caniaux's coloring giving the inferno on the water its vivid, ominous glow. A solid entry for readers who love meticulously crafted WWII naval adventure.
