En mijn vader waande me dood

In En mijn vader waande me dood (2023–present, Personalia), Noël Ummels and Liesbeth Waijers craft a deeply personal comic that explores the raw, intimate aftermath of a fractured family history. The single issue so far from this Dutch publisher centers on the narrator's return to their father, who believed them dead, weaving memory and reconciliation into a starkly honest narrative. Waijers' evocative art grounds the story in quiet, lived-in moments, making it a poignant addition to contemporary autobiographical comics. It matters for its unflinching look at estrangement and the fragile, difficult work of rebuilding connection.
