About the series
In Simon fra Floden (1983–1989), Semic Press published nine issues of a Danish-language comic series built around the work of French creator Claude Auclair, who served as both its most frequent writer and artist. The series follows the adventures of a solitary woodsman navigating a post-apocalyptic wilderness, blending survivalist grit with a lyrical, pastoral tone. Auclair’s detailed, atmospheric art and the contributions of writers Gerd Hoff and Alain Riondet gave the series a distinct European flavor, making it a cult touchstone for readers of mature, contemplative adventure comics in Scandinavia. Its quiet, enduring appeal lies in its refusal to glamorize violence, instead focusing on the resilience of nature and humanity.
