Die Saga von Grimr

In the Eisner-nominated Die Saga von Grimr, Jérémie Moreau and Claudia Sandberg craft a stark, mythic journey across 18th-century Iceland. Published by avant-verlag, this single-issue graphic novel follows the brutal life of its outcast protagonist, Grimr, as he navigates a world of volcanic landscapes and colonial oppression. Moreau’s expressive, painterly art and Sandberg’s lean storytelling bring a visceral, folkloric weight to this tale of survival and transformation. It stands as a powerful, standalone work that reimagines the historical graphic novel with raw, elemental force.
