About this Collection

This Dutch-language collection brings together a selection of comics from the series 'Bij ons in het dorp' (1977), originally published by Van Gennep. The volume presents autobiographical, drawn memories, offering a personal and nostalgic look at everyday life through the artist's illustrated recollections.

A quiet, character-driven story set in a small Dutch village, "Bij ons in het dorp" features a cast of familiar townspeople navigating everyday life, rendered in the distinctive, expressive style of Peter van Straaten, who handled all aspects of the interior art and lettering. The cover, also by van Straaten, captures the intimate, observational tone of the tale. Published in 1977 by Van Gennep, this issue reflects the artist’s keen eye for small-town detail and human nuance.
