Puk en Poppedijn #1

Piet Wijn's charming Dutch album Puk en Poppedijn opens with "Het tovertafeltje," and the cover sets the tone beautifully: two cherubic young children ride a flying carpet high above a picturesque harbor town, one of them clutching a golden birdcage as ships and rooftops drift far below. Wijn's warm, storybook linework gives the whole scene a timeless fairy-tale quality that feels right at home in the tradition of classic European children's comics. A delightful 2010 release for anyone who appreciates whimsical adventure illustrated with genuine care and craft.
