Gilles de Geus

Hanco Kolk and Peter de Wit’s Gilles de Geus ran for three issues from 1988 to 1992 with De Plaatjesmaker, a short-lived Dutch comic series that paired Kolk’s expressive art with the duo’s satirical, historical-tinged storytelling. The series follows its eponymous character through a blend of comedy and adventure, standing out as a quirky, creator-driven project from the late-80s Dutch indie scene. Though brief, it remains a notable example of Kolk and de Wit’s early collaborative work, showcasing the sharp humor and visual flair that would define their later, more famous projects.
