The Return of the Honey Buzzard

A hauntingly beautiful graphic novel from SelfMadeHero, The Return of the Honey Buzzard is a singular, self-contained 2014 work by writer-artist Aimée de Jongh, co-written with Michele Hutchison. This poignant story follows a man confronting the ghosts of his past when he returns to his childhood home to settle his late father's estate, blending stark emotional realism with a quiet, evocative visual style. De Jongh’s delicate linework and muted palette capture the fragile intersection of memory and grief, making this a quietly powerful entry in contemporary European graphic fiction.
