De vrolijke zelfmoord

Willem [Bernard Holtrop] launched De vrolijke zelfmoord in 1971 with a single, razor-sharp issue from publisher Van Gennep. A darkly comic meditation on self-destruction, it stands as a singular, provocative artifact of Dutch counterculture, blending Willem's signature satirical linework with a bleakly humorous premise. Though brief, its audacious title and uncompromising vision have kept it a quietly influential touchstone in underground comics.
