About the series
In this single-issue graphic novel from Dutch publisher Oog & Blik, writer Geert van Istendael and artist Judith Vanistendael collaborate on a provocative, intimate exploration of identity and connection. The title, translating to The Virgin and the Negro, signals the work's unflinching engagement with race, history, and the fraught dynamics of a relationship. Vanistendael’s expressive, watercolor-infused art brings a delicate humanity to a story that refuses easy answers. A concise, powerful entry in the European graphic novel tradition, it stands out for its willingness to tackle uncomfortable subjects with both nuance and visual grace.
