Piotruś Pan

Régis Loisel’s darkly enchanting reimagining of Peter Pan unfolds across six issues published by Egmont Polska between 2001 and 2005. Translated by Maria Mosiewicz and Maria Mosiewicz-Szrejter, this series strips away the whimsy of J.M. Barrie’s classic to explore the gritty, violent origins of the boy who wouldn’t grow up. Loisel, serving as both writer and artist, crafts a lush, detailed world that recontextualizes Neverland as a place born from Victorian London’s squalor and trauma. A landmark European graphic novel, it remains a haunting, adult take on a beloved story, celebrated for its unflinching artistry and narrative depth.
