En mijn vader waande me dood #[nn]

A quietly powerful Dutch graphic novel from 2023, En mijn vader waande me dood ("And My Father Thought Me Dead") announces itself with a striking cover portrait by Liesbeth Waijers — a pensive older man rendered in warm, painterly strokes of ochre, rust, and soft colour, his eyes downcast in a moment of deep reflection. The title's emotional weight hangs over the image with an intimacy that feels genuinely personal, hinting at the human story crafted by writer Noël Ummels within. It's a beautifully understated package that invites readers looking for comics that speak to the heart rather than the spectacle.
