De Onschuldigen

Gipi’s De Onschuldigen is a single-issue graphic novel from the Dutch publisher Oog & Blik, first released in 2006 and still in print. Written and drawn entirely by the acclaimed Italian cartoonist, it’s a spare, atmospheric story that captures a moment of fragile innocence among a group of boys on the cusp of adolescence. Gipi’s loose, expressive watercolors and understated storytelling make this a quiet but resonant entry in his body of work, showcasing his gift for rendering the emotional weight of youth.
