Alpha ...directions

From 2010, Jens Harder’s Alpha …directions (Carlsen Comics) is a singular, ongoing German graphic novel project that traces the evolution of the universe and life on Earth through meticulously researched, wordless visual sequences. Harder serves as both writer and artist, crafting a sweeping, science-driven narrative that moves from the Big Bang through prehistory. The series stands out for its ambitious scope and Harder’s distinctive, detail-rich artwork, making it a landmark in European non-fiction comics.
