Storytelling, comic books and self-publishing
This October, Knockabout Comics is celebrating 500 years of Bosch with Marcel Ruijters’ graphic biography Hieronymus.
The irreverent and very fictional take on the Netherlandish painter, whose striking and fantastical images of hell has influenced generations of artists since, is written and illustrated by Dutch artist Marcel Ruijters.
