The chapter continues with three more beautifully-drawn episodes. Of note, each of the ten episodes includes a double-decked splash panel. The September 11 installment features one with a wonderful rendering of the town’s imposing bell tower (possibly inspired by the famous Belfry of Bruges); the rest of the episode’s panels match it in quality and drama. Meanwhile, trapped in the belfry, Kevin’s options are limited.

Kevin’s imitation of the bell-ringer is inspired. Nonetheless, it puts him in danger…

…and time is not on Kevin’s side. Meanwhile, lovely Taka eavesdrops on the soldiers.

Another magnificent splash panel, as arresting as the others, hints at Kevin’s only escape.
