Nordlicht

In the Eisner-nominated tradition of European fantasy, Nordlicht (2024–present, Egmont Ehapa) launches a single-issue comic series that reimagines Norse mythology through a modern, character-driven lens. Written and illustrated by the acclaimed creative team of Simon Schwartz and Anna Süßmayer, this debut issue introduces a richly atmospheric world where ancient legends collide with contemporary themes of identity and belonging. As a fresh entry in German-language comics, it has already drawn praise for its lush, painterly art and emotionally resonant storytelling, marking a promising start for a series that seeks to explore the enduring power of myth in a changing world.
