De honden van Pripiyat

In this stark two-issue series from Saga Uitgaven, launched in 2017, the aftermath of a nuclear disaster is explored through the eyes of the stray dogs left behind in the exclusion zone. Belgian creator Brecht Evens brings his expressive, watercolor-like art to a story that balances the haunting silence of abandoned landscapes with the resilient, feral lives of its canine survivors. Though brief, the series stands as a poignant, visually distinct meditation on loss and survival in the shadow of catastrophe.
