Nattbarn

Hanna Gustavsson’s Nattbarn (Night Child), published by Ordfront Galago in 2013, is a single-issue Swedish comic that explores the quiet, melancholic world of a young woman navigating loneliness and the strange intimacy of the night. Gustavsson, the sole writer and artist, crafts a moody, atmospheric story with delicate linework and a muted palette, capturing a fleeting, almost dreamlike moment in the character’s life. Though brief, the comic stands as a poignant, self-contained work that showcases Gustavsson’s talent for understated storytelling and emotional resonance within the Swedish small-press scene.
