Hexen

In Hexen, artist Malwine Stauss crafts a haunting, wordless visual narrative for Rotopol, following a solitary woman's eerie journey through a surreal, forested landscape. Debuting in 2021, this single-issue comic relies entirely on Stauss's expressive, atmospheric linework to build a quiet, folkloric sense of dread and wonder. It stands as a striking example of contemporary European alternative comics, where mood and imagery carry the story without a single caption or speech balloon.
