Urbanus vertelt

In 2008, Standaard Uitgeverij launched Urbanus vertelt, a long-running comic series that adapts the wild, folkloric adventures of the beloved Flemish comedian Urbanus into graphic form. Spanning 29 issues and counting, the series is most frequently illustrated by Dirk Stallaert and Jan Bosschaert, who bring a lively, cartoonish energy to Urbanus’s irreverent humor and absurd, everyday misadventures. It stands as a key entry in modern Flemish comics, preserving the comedian’s distinctive voice for a new generation of readers.
