De beeldhouwer

Scott McCloud’s De beeldhouwer is a single-issue, 500-page graphic novel originally published in Dutch by Scratch Books in 2015. This ambitious work, written and illustrated by McCloud with design by Studio Peter de Raaf, explores the life of a sculptor who makes a Faustian bargain to create masterpieces. It stands as a monumental, self-contained statement from one of comics’ most respected theorists and artists, blending visual innovation with a deeply human story about art, ambition, and mortality.
