Nagel

From 2022, Strand Comics’ Nagel is a three-issue series written and drawn by Sigbjørn Lilleeng, a Norwegian creator whose stark, atmospheric art and taut storytelling define this compact run. Set in a grim, rain-slicked city, it follows a solitary figure navigating a world of violence and moral ambiguity, blending noir sensibility with a distinctly European comic sensibility. Lilleeng’s singular vision makes Nagel a noteworthy entry in contemporary indie comics, showcasing a tight, self-contained narrative that lingers long after the final page.
