Automotiv

In Automotiv (2013–present), Dutch publisher Oog & Blik (via De Bezige Bij) launched a single-issue comic that explores the intersection of automobiles and human emotion, blending surrealist imagery with a quiet, introspective narrative. The series, primarily associated with writer and artist Typex, is notable for its minimalist, ink-heavy art style and its meditation on speed, solitude, and the mechanical soul. Though brief in its run, Automotiv stands as a distinctive, contemplative entry in European alternative comics—a small, polished gem that prioritizes mood and metaphor over plot.
