Jonathan

In 1979, Swiss artist Cosey launched Jonathan for the French-language publisher Semic, a singular, ongoing comic series built around a lone protagonist’s quiet, introspective journeys. Across its single issue and beyond, the series is defined entirely by Cosey’s own writing and art, blending elegant, watercolor-like linework with a contemplative, almost cinematic sense of place and mood. Rather than superheroics, Jonathan focuses on the subtle, personal moments of travel and human connection, earning a reputation as a cornerstone of European bande dessinée for its mature, literary approach to the medium.
