Merel

Clara Lodewick writes and illustrates this quiet, atmospheric debut from Carlsen Comics, following a woman named Merel as she navigates a life reshaped by loss. Set in a moody, contemplative present-day, the series unfolds in a single, self-contained issue that prioritizes emotional resonance over plot. Lodewick’s delicate linework and muted palette create an intimate, almost painterly reading experience, marking her as a distinctive new voice in German comics.
