Ronja Räubertochter

Based on Astrid Lindgren's beloved children's novel, this German comic adaptation from Oetinger brings the wild, forested world of Ronja, the robber's daughter, to a new visual medium. Illustrated with a warm, storybook style, the series follows Ronja's childhood adventures and her growing friendship with Birk, the son of a rival robber chief. Though brief at just two issues, this 2017 series matters for its faithful, lushly drawn introduction of a classic Scandinavian tale to a comics-reading audience, capturing the spirit of Lindgren's original story.
