421 - Integraal #3

This third integral volume collecting the spy thriller series 421, published by Dupuis in 2023, brings together the work of Maltaite and Desberg in a handsome hardcover edition. The cover sets the mood perfectly: a composed, dark-haired woman in a violet dress reclines in a wicker chair on what appears to be a tropical veranda, while a blond man stands alert behind her, pistol raised, among lush foliage and a partially visible vehicle. It's a tense, stylish tableau that captures everything appealing about this series — glamour, danger, and cool-headed intrigue.
