Alma M. Karlin

In 2020, Bahoe Books launched Alma M. Karlin, a biographical comic series by artist Jakob Klemenčič that illuminates the extraordinary life of the Slovenian traveler, writer, and polyglot. Based on her real-world journeys, the series adapts Karlin’s own writings into a visual narrative, focusing on her daring solo expeditions across the globe in the early 20th century. With Klemenčič’s expressive art, the series reclaims a forgotten figure of adventure and resilience, offering a compelling portrait of a woman who defied the conventions of her era.
