De omslag

Barbara Stok’s De omslag (2015–present, Nijgh & van Ditmar) is a single-issue comic that serves as a poignant, self-contained meditation on the power of a book’s cover. Written and drawn entirely by Stok, this Dutch release distills her signature warm, expressive style into a quiet, reflective narrative about the stories a jacket can tell before a single page is turned. It’s a compact, elegant work that showcases Stok’s ability to find deep humanity in everyday objects and moments.
