Brussel Duizend jaar roemrijke geschiedenis

A single-issue, oversized album from the Belgian publisher Casterman, Brussel: Duizend jaar roemrijke geschiedenis (1979) is a lavishly illustrated, panoramic tour of Brussels’ millennium of history. Created by a team of renowned Franco-Belgian comic artists and historians, the book presents the city’s evolution through a series of detailed, interconnected scenes rather than a traditional narrative. It stands as a unique, non-fiction monument in comics—a collaborative, visual love letter to a capital that blends scholarship with the graphic storytelling craft Casterman is famous for.
