Het betoverde bos

In 1938, Het betoverde bos debuted as a standalone comic in the Dutch newspaper Nieuwsblad de Zaanlander, the project of artist Greta Badenhuizen. Though only a single issue, this enchanting woodland fantasy stands as a quiet landmark in early Dutch comics, showcasing Badenhuizen’s delicate linework and a gentle, atmospheric story that invites readers into a magical forest. Its brevity belies its charm, making it a cherished, if fleeting, glimpse into pre-war Dutch sequential art.
