Urhistorien

Peter Madsen, the celebrated Danish creator of Valhalla, brings his epic storytelling to a new canvas with Urhistorien (2021–present, Bibelselskabets Forlag). This single-issue comic reimagines the earliest chapters of the Bible, from creation to the patriarchs, through Madsen’s distinctive, warmly humanistic art and narrative style. It stands as a thoughtful, visually rich exploration of foundational myths, offering a fresh lens on ancient stories that have shaped Western culture.
