Elin under havet

Swedish cartoonist Joanna Rubin Dranger’s Elin under havet is a single, self-contained graphic novel from Rabén & Sjögren that blends surreal fantasy with a child’s emotional reality. In its story, a young girl named Elin escapes her everyday worries by diving into an underwater world, where she encounters strange creatures and navigates a dreamlike landscape. The work is notable for its delicate, expressive linework and its quiet, resonant exploration of grief and imagination, marking a distinctive contribution to contemporary Swedish comics for young readers.
