De man die wonderen kon doen #[nn]

José-Luis Munuera's cover sets a quietly astonishing tone: a bespectacled, modestly dressed man perches cross-legged on a floating rock in the star-filled cosmos, the glowing curve of Earth looming beside him — an ordinary fellow in an extraordinarily extraordinary situation. Published by Standaard Uitgeverij in 2025, this Dutch-language graphic album adapts H.G. Wells' tale of impossible power with Munuera handling both pencils and inks, bringing a warmly detailed, slightly whimsical touch to the infinite void. Scripted by Lies Lavrijsen alongside Wells' source material, it's a collaboration that promises to make the fantastical feel bracingly human.
