Death Match #[nn]

The cover of Death Match sets the tension immediately: a footballer in a deep red kit unleashes a powerful kick on the pitch above, while below, a crowd of stern-faced Nazi officers watches from the stands — swastika flags hanging in the background leaving no doubt about the era or the stakes. Pepe Gálvez and Guillem Escriche frame sport and occupation in a single, striking image that carries the full weight of wartime dread. Published by Dark Dragon Books in 2022, this is the kind of graphic storytelling that uses the beautiful game as a lens for something far darker.
