After the Second World War, Ferdinand Vercnocke, authors' grandfather, was sentenced to ten years in prison for collaboration for putting his writing skills at the service of the German occupier. He was released after five years, and twenty years later he was rehabilitated. . The Vercnocke family would hardly talk about that black past, not even after his death in 1989. In 2015, Bout Vercnocke considers the time finally ripe to dig up the dark past of his father: how and to what extent his father collaborated, how big was his involvement and responsibility? Drieman is a partly autobiographical, partly magical-realistic comic in which Wide Vercnocke sheds light on both the search for the actions of his grandfather during the Second World War and how he deals with the result of this search.

' Take your time for the intrinsic beauty of it all. ' - STRIPSPECIAALZAAK ' A breath-taking visualisation. A powerful and profound statement' - NRC HANDELSBLAD ' A sensitive, intriguing and moving graphic novel. His best to date' - DE STANDAARD
Wide Vercnocke (b. 1985) studied at Sint-Lukas n Brussels, where he obtained a Master' s degree in Visual Arts, Graphic Design department. His graduation work immediately became his first published comic: My Muse Lies On The Settee. This was followed by Wild meat (2014), Narwal (2016) and Drieman (2020). In between, he works as a freelancer, his drawings have appeared in Humo, Focus Knack and De Standaard or as large murals. As an illustrator he is also associated with De Sprekende Ezels, a stage for poetry, word and music. He describes himself as a ' writer and illustrator of tear-jerkers' . In his graphic novels, he combines a fascinating drawing style with often abstract but poetic stories, in which physicality plays an important role. Language and image are given equal weight, and Vercnocke plays deftly with both. He is building an oeuvre that is impressively unique and unconventional.
