Burgerlijke schemering

In the ongoing Dutch-language series Burgerlijke schemering, writer and artist Steve Michiels explores the quiet, often absurd tensions of modern suburban life through a single, self-contained issue published in 2010 by De Harmonie and Vrijdag. With a minimalist, observational style, Michiels captures a moment of existential unease beneath the placid surface of middle-class existence. Though brief, the book stands as a distinctive, introspective entry in the European alternative comics landscape, showcasing Michiels' sharp eye for the melancholy humor of everyday rituals.
