About the series
In the early 1990s, the Finnish publisher Like released the four-part miniseries Julius Corentin Aqfaq, unien vanki (The Prisoner of Dreams), a surreal, introspective work that follows a lone wanderer through a labyrinthine dreamscape. Created by a team closely associated with the Finnish alternative comics scene, the series is notable for its dense, philosophical storytelling and stark, atmospheric black-and-white art. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive, cult artifact of early-90s European comics, exploring themes of memory, identity, and the boundaries between reality and the subconscious.
