Muraqqa'

A single oversized issue from 2011, Muraqqa' is a European graphic novel from Schreiber & Leser that blends the structure of a comic with the aesthetic of a Persian miniature. Written by Emilio Ruiz and Resel Rebiersch, with lush, intricate artwork by Ana Mirallès, the story unfolds as a silent, visual journey through a fantastical, ornate world. It stands out as a deliberate, meditative experiment in cross-cultural visual storytelling, prioritizing atmosphere and artistry over conventional narrative.
