Elly & Gustav

Two issues in, Elly & Gustav (2023–present, Solum Bokvennen) pairs writers Ludovic Villain and Stéphanie de Miranda with artist Céline Deregnaucourt for a quiet, character-focused comic. The series follows its two titular figures through understated moments, with Deregnaucourt’s expressive linework grounding their interactions. Though brief, it’s a promising addition to the Norwegian publisher’s catalog, showcasing a collaborative European approach to slice-of-life storytelling.
