Schattenmutter

In Schattenmutter, Swiss artist Stefan Haller crafts a single-issue graphic novel for Edition Moderne that explores the haunting, layered relationship between a mother and her child, set against a backdrop of shadow and memory. Through stark, expressive black-and-white artwork, the story delves into themes of absence, inheritance, and the quiet weight of family secrets. This 2021 release stands as a compact, atmospheric debut that showcases Haller’s distinctive visual storytelling within the European indie comics landscape.
