Moeder oorlog integraal #[nn]

Two small figures stand amid the skeletal wreckage of a bombed-out church — broken arches, shattered timbers, and the scattered remnants of fallen soldiers stretching across a desolate, muted landscape. Maël's artwork for this 2014 Daedalus integral edition is quietly devastating, rendered in earthy washes of grey and brown that give the ruins a haunting, almost elegiac weight. Moeder Oorlog ("Mother War") collects the complete story, and this opening tale, "Eerste aanklacht," announces itself as a sober, unflinching meditation on the cost of conflict.
