Judith Vanistendael is a Flemish comic author, illustrator and teacher in comic art. Her critically acclaimed autobiographical debut 'Dance by the Light of the Moon' (2009) firmly established her as one of Belgium's most important contemporary graphic novelists. It was followed by the moving 'When David Lost His Voice' and the socially conscious 'Salto' (2016), which she made in cooperation with Mark Bellido. Thanks to her ground-breaking graphic novels, Vanistendael has been called the Belgian Posy Simmonds.
