De terugkeer van de Wespendief

Aimée de Jongh’s graphic novel, published by Oog & Blik and De Bezige Bij, is a poignant, single-issue story that unfolds in the Dutch countryside. The narrative follows a young woman returning to her childhood home, where she confronts memories of her father and the elusive bird of prey that gives the book its title. De Jongh, both writer and artist, crafts a deeply personal and visually lyrical meditation on grief, memory, and the natural world. This work stands as a significant, self-contained entry in contemporary Dutch comics, showcasing a singular creative voice at the height of her early career.
