Røyskatten

The silent, painterly fantasy Røyskatten, a single-issue Norwegian comic published by Semic in 1986, adapts a story by Terje Stigen through the haunting, monochrome brush of French-Belgian master Didier Comès. Known for his atmospheric, wordless storytelling in works like Silence, Comès here conjures a stark, folkloric encounter with a mountain troll. Its brief, self-contained nature makes it a distinctive artifact of European graphic literature’s reach into Scandinavia.
