Issunboshi - Kampen mot monstrene

In this Norwegian-language graphic novel from Fontini Forlag, Ryan Lang both writes and illustrates a modern retelling of the classic Issunboshi folktale, following a tiny, one-inch-tall hero on a perilous quest against monsters. Launched in 2023 and continuing as an ongoing series, Lang's work brings a fresh, cinematic sensibility to the myth, blending Nordic and Japanese visual influences in a story that reimagines the underdog's journey for a new generation. It's a visually striking, single-issue start to a series that matters for its cultural fusion and its creator's singular artistic vision.
