Der Berg der nackten Wahrheiten

In Der Berg der nackten Wahrheiten (2019–present, Edition Moderne), Swiss cartoonist Jan Bachmann crafts a single-issue graphic novella that blends surreal alpine folklore with quiet existential reflection. The story follows a lone hiker's ascent of a mysterious mountain where the landscape itself seems to strip away pretense, forcing encounters with raw, unvarnished truths. Bachmann’s delicate, expressive linework and muted color palette create a dreamlike atmosphere that lingers long after the climb ends. A distinctive, meditative work from the contemporary European small-press scene, it showcases Bachmann’s gift for merging the mundane with the mythic.
