Jenny Jordahl
b. 1989
Jenny Jordahl was born on 17 July 1989 in Norway, where she has built a multifaceted career as an illustrator, comics creator, and writer. She is best known for her work in nonfiction comics, often tackling history, feminism, and environmental themes with a clear, engaging visual style. Jordahl’s path into comics began with her illustrated books, which blend informative content with lively artwork. Her signature approach combines clean linework, expressive characters, and a palette that makes complex topics accessible. She has collaborated on several notable projects, including *60 damer du skulle ha møtt* (a guide to Norwegian women’s history) and *Grønne greier - om natur og miljø og sånt*, as well as *Hva er greia med klima?*, all of which showcase her ability to distill serious subjects into approachable comics. In the Swedish magazine *Bild & Bubbla*, she contributed as both artist and writer. Her most credited title in our catalog is *Pegasus*, where she served as artist, colorist, inker, letterer, and writer. Active from 2014 to 2025, Jordahl has also worked on *Det beste fra Alle Kvinners 1938 - Er jeg snerpet?*. Her legacy lies in popularizing educational comics in Scandinavia, making feminist and ecological history vivid for a broad audience. While major awards are not documented in our records, her consistent output has established her as a distinctive voice in Norwegian comics.
