De Pilaren van de Aarde

In 2026, Standaard Uitgeverij launched De Pilaren van de Aarde, a Dutch-language comic series that adapts Ken Follett's epic historical novel The Pillars of the Earth. This first issue begins the story of the building of a magnificent cathedral in 12th-century England, a tale of ambition, faith, and conflict. The series is closely associated with writer Jean Dufaux and artist Philippe Delaby, who bring the rich medieval tapestry to life with intricate, dramatic artwork. It matters as a faithful graphic novel adaptation of a beloved bestseller, offering a new visual entry point into Follett's sprawling narrative.
