Oog & Blik was an Amsterdam-based Dutch publisher of comics founded by Joost Swarte and Hansje Joustra in 1985.
Oog & Blik offered books mostly for an adult audience. They published original and translated graphic novels, underground comix, autobiographical comics, picture books, and in the past silkscreens by Joost Swarte. Around 2010 De Bezige Bij bought Oog & Blik.[1] Joustra was fired in 2014 and started a new publishing company called Scratch Books. Almost all comic book artists left Oog & Blik afterwards to join Joustra's new company. Bezige Bij quit publishing comics in 2015 and further activities as Oog & Blik were put on hold.
The story of Oog & Blik was used as a case-study about creating and sustaining artistic independence.[2]
