De bende van Jan de Lichte

In the late 1980s, Dutch publisher Arboris brought the legendary 18th-century Flemish outlaw Jan de Lichte to comics, with artist Nagel crafting a gritty, historically-rooted series across five issues. This bande dessinée adaptation delves into the violent life of a folk anti-hero, offering a darkly atmospheric take on a real figure who terrorized and fascinated the Low Countries. It stands as a notable European crime comic, blending historical fiction with the raw energy of a criminal saga.
