Afke's tiental

In this intimate, introspective series from the Dutch publisher Personalia, Dick Matena writes and draws a single-issue portrait of a young girl named Afke, exploring her daily life and inner world. Launched in 2014, the book stands as a quiet, character-driven slice-of-life story, showcasing Matena's signature clean linework and deep empathy for his subjects. Though only one issue has been released, the series matters as a reflective, standalone work from a celebrated Dutch comics artist, offering a gentle meditation on childhood and memory.
