The Little Trashmaid

A gentle, ecologically-minded German comic series from Egmont Ehapa, The Little Trashmaid launched in 2025 with a single issue. The story follows a young mermaid who discovers her underwater home is being polluted by human trash, turning her into an unlikely environmental guardian. The series is notable for its debut creator, whose artwork blends whimsical, child-friendly visuals with a clear message about ocean conservation. Though early in its run, it represents a fresh, accessible entry point for younger readers interested in both fantasy and real-world ecological themes.
