“Evens is a master of crowd scenes and colour, and his psychedelic symphony bleeds into a pensive, washed-out dawn that suggests that even the wildest trips must end sometime.” —James Smart, The Guardian Best Graphic Novels of 2021“Through it all, the city itself looms as a character, seething with alluring colors and nightclub denizens on the prowl, and the promise of salvation (or damnation)... Fans of Olivier Schrauwen and other... avant-garde comics will be amply rewarded.” —Publishers Weekly“Evens' eye-popping art and unexpected story mimic the feel of a wild night out, with readers never anticipating his next page.” —Booklist“Reading this book from Belgium’s Brecht Evens is like spending a night roaming the streets of Antwerp hopped up on drugs.” —London Free Press Top Comics of 2021“An intoxicating, meticulously painted graphic novel, The City of Belgium is a technicolor carnival, a visual and formal masterwork that confidently upends conventions with its dazzling artistry.” —Rain Taxi
