Hero + Leander

Anke Feuchtenberger’s stark, poetic linework brings a modern, European sensibility to the ancient myth of Hero and Leander in this single-issue comic from Edition Moderne, launched in 2004. The series distills the tragic lovers’ tale into a single, atmospheric volume, emphasizing Feuchtenberger’s distinctive visual storytelling over narrative expansion. It stands as a compact, artist-driven reinterpretation of a classic story, notable for its place in Feuchtenberger’s acclaimed body of independent comics work.
