Pottwale

A contemplative, wordless comic from Swiss publisher Zytglogge Verlag, Pottwale (1995–present) is a single-issue meditation on the life of a sperm whale. Artist Gabriel Paccalet renders the deep-sea journey in meticulous, atmospheric detail, capturing the creature's scale and solitude. This debut issue stands as a quiet, singular work of naturalist observation in the European comic tradition.
