Sint Maarten - Een levende legende

This cool comic book tells the story of Saint Martin, stretching far back in time. The book begins when Saint Martin was still a Roman soldier. It tells the story of how he later became Bishop Martin of Tours and, after his death, was canonized.

In this book, three Utrecht comic artists tell their story of Saint Martin and how he ultimately became the Patron Saint of Utrecht. Their stories are drawn and told in their own distinctive style, making this comic book not only educational and informative, but also fun to read!

Above, we'll give you a glimpse—in order of the stories—of the drawing styles that make this book so interesting and enjoyable. This is especially true for students at the Vrije School (Waldorf School), where the St. Martin's play is still performed regularly and the turnips are hollowed every November to take out on Saint Martin's Day.

In this book, you'll read all about St. Martin, including the origins of his connection to geese ;))) Moreover, this is a comic book that will appeal to many different people, because the stories are about history but they are also funny.
