Koning Hollewijn

Koning Hollewijn, launched in 2018 by Uitgeverij Cliché, is a Dutch comic series that reimagines the classic figure of the Wandering Jew through a surreal, contemporary lens. Across its five issues, the series follows the titular immortal wanderer through strange, often absurd encounters that blend folklore with modern-day satire. The comic is most closely associated with its creator, the acclaimed Dutch cartoonist Typex, whose distinctive linework and deadpan humor have defined the book's tone. It matters as a fresh, idiosyncratic take on a centuries-old legend, showcasing the vitality of the Dutch independent comics scene.
