Hypericum

Manuele Fior, joined by Myriam Alfano, brings a quiet, painterly sensibility to Hypericum, a German-language comic from avant-verlag that began in 2023. With Fior handling both writing and art, the series explores a moody, introspective landscape, its single issue to date hinting at a contemplative narrative style. It matters as a showcase for Fior’s distinctive, watercolor-infused storytelling, offering a European alternative to more bombastic cape-and-cowl fare.
