About the series
In De oorlog van Alan (2009–2012, Silvester), a three-issue series, writer and artist Jean-Claude Servais explores a haunting, intimate chapter of World War II through the eyes of a young boy in rural Belgium. Known for his lush, naturalistic art and sensitive storytelling, Servais crafts a quiet, character-driven war story that stands apart from bombastic battle narratives. This series matters for its restrained, human-scale focus on the moral complexities and lingering trauma of occupation, rendered with the lyrical depth that defines Servais’s best work.
