De aanslag

Milan Hulsing’s graphic novel adaptation of Harry Mulisch’s classic Dutch novel, published by Oog & Blik and De Bezige Bij in 2015, distills the post-war moral complexity of the original into a single, powerful comic volume. Hulsing serves as both writer and artist, crafting a stark, evocative visual narrative that explores how a single violent act during the Nazi occupation reverberates through decades of guilt and memory. This work stands as a notable example of literary adaptation in comics, bringing a seminal work of Dutch literature to a new audience through Hulsing’s distinctive, atmospheric art.
