Buck - De eerste man op aarde #[nn]

Frederik Van Den Stock's painted cover sets a quietly breathtaking scene: a pale, ghostly human figure walks the ridge of a sun-drenched hillside while herons, cormorants, eagles, and a small darting bird populate the wetland grasses and open sky around him — nature utterly indifferent to his presence. The subtitle "de eerste man op aarde" ("the first man on earth") gives the image its haunting weight, framing this lone figure as something primordial, surrounded by a world that existed long before him. Published by Oogachtend in 2019, this Dutch-language graphic novel promises an intimate, painterly meditation on humanity's place in the natural order.
