Simon de samaritaan

In this two-issue Dutch series from Medusa (2011–2013), writer and artist Jean-Marc van Tol reimagines the biblical story of Simon of Cyrene—the man compelled to carry the cross—as a gritty, humanist drama set in first-century Judea. With stark, expressive artwork and a focus on the ordinary people caught in history's upheaval, the series offers a compact, thought-provoking look at faith, duty, and resistance. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive entry in van Tol's career, blending historical speculation with his signature narrative economy.
