Irmina

In the single, powerful volume Irmina (2019–present, Astiberri Ediciones), writer and artist Barbara Yelin crafts a haunting character study set against the rise of Nazi Germany. Following a young woman who returns from Oxford to Berlin in the 1930s, the story traces her quiet complicity and moral compromise as she navigates privilege, ambition, and the creeping horror of a regime. Based on Yelin's extensive historical research into her own grandmother's life, this graphic novel is a stark, intimate examination of ordinary choices in extraordinary times. It stands as a significant work of European comics, recognized for its unflinching look at how individuals become entangled in history's darkest chapters.
