Thud #20

"Dödens fågel" is a haunting, atmospheric tale from Rolf Gohs, who both writes and illustrates this standout issue of Thud #20. When a group of boys discover the murdered Dr. Mahler, a mysterious connection to a sacred bird and a dying Jantu Indian unfolds—leading to a moment of tragic release and a final, silent flight. The cover by Rolf Gohs captures the story’s eerie stillness, perfectly framing a tale steeped in myth and consequence.
