Die Kaiserin Cixtite

Anne Simon’s Die Kaiserin Cixtite, published by Rotopol since 2015, is a singular, ongoing comic series that follows the surreal adventures of its titular empress across a dreamlike, whimsical world. Simon’s distinctive, delicate linework and offbeat humor define the series, which so far consists of a single issue. Though brief, it stands out as a charming, idiosyncratic entry in contemporary European alternative comics, showcasing Simon’s talent for blending the absurd with the elegant.
