The authors present new imagery and spectrophotometric results for the N88 H II region in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These observations using CCD and IDS detectors allowed to detect a very complex morphology. In contrast to the SRC(J) plates this region appears to be composed of several hot stars embedded in faint H II regions of about 8arcsec diameter, except for the central object N88A, which is very bright log I(Hβ) = -10.62, highly excited [O III] λλ5007+4959/Hβ > 10.5, and highly reddened E(B-V) = 0.6. It is about 150 times more intense than the brighter surrounding H II region in Hβ. Thus N88A is probably the brightest, most absorbed, and one of the densest H II regions discovered in the SMC up to now.
