Christmas Carol

Dick Matena's singular adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol for De Bezige Bij, launched in 2004, transforms the classic Victorian ghost story into a vivid, sequential art experience. As the sole artist and writer behind this single-issue work, Matena brings a uniquely European, literary sensibility to the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge's haunting redemption. This graphic novel stands as a definitive, faithful translation of the source material into the comics medium, celebrated for its atmospheric linework and narrative clarity.
