About the series
In Jeronimus (2009–2011), writer Christophe Dabitch and artist Jean-Denis Pendanx bring a stark, historically-rooted drama to Daedalus, exploring the harrowing true story of the shipwreck of the Batavia and the mutiny that followed. Across three issues, Pendanx’s richly textured art grounds the tale in the brutal, sun-scorched landscape of 17th-century Australia, while Dabitch’s script delves into the psychological unraveling of the survivors. This series stands as a vivid, unflinching example of European historical comics, using the medium to reconstruct a chilling chapter of colonial exploration with both precision and emotional force.
