De Illias | Moos Boeke

De Ilias is a collective comic-book project in which five illustrators reinterpret the classical Greek epic. In this retelling, themes such as respect, authority and the value of a human life are compared with contemporary power dynamics, (including in politics). Illustrators Moos Boeke, Abel Dijkstra and Vera Wolsink are collaborating on this project with guest illustrators Ludwig Volbeda and Gus Møystad. The graphic novel experimentally combines various illustration styles and narrative forms within a single coherent whole. In addition to breathing new life into a centuries-old story , the project aims to establish a collaboration that brings innovation to the comic-book world. The book has 120 pages, will be published in early 2028 by Uitgeverij Oogachtend, and is aimed at an international audience.
