De kladdenman

In this French-language series launched in 2023 by publisher Sherpa, writer Serge Lehman and artist Frederik Peeters collaborate on a single-issue comic that explores the surreal and unsettling figure of "De kladdenman." The story, rooted in a blend of psychological horror and metaphysical mystery, follows a protagonist whose encounter with this elusive entity upends their perception of reality. Peeters' distinct, atmospheric artwork—known from his acclaimed work on Aâma and RG—lends a haunting visual dimension to Lehman's cryptic narrative, making this a concise yet impactful entry in contemporary European comics. Though only one issue deep, the series stands as a compelling showcase of two visionary talents working in tight synergy.
