Gegijzeld

In Gegijzeld (2017, Scratch Books), Guy Delisle and Ingmar de Haan adapt a harrowing real-life hostage crisis into a taut, single-issue graphic narrative. Delisle, known for his clean, observational linework, both writes and illustrates this standalone account, which distills years of captivity into a stark, human story. The book stands as a focused, intimate entry in Delisle’s oeuvre of journalistic comics, bringing his signature understated clarity to a story of endurance.
