Veslemøy

In Veslemøy, writer-artist Vantina crafts a haunting, one-shot graphic novel for Cappelen Damm that reimagines a classic Norwegian folk ballad through a contemporary, feminist lens. The story follows its titular character as she navigates a dark, mythic landscape of sacrifice and survival, rendered in Vantina’s expressive and atmospheric art. This 2015 debut stands as a striking, self-contained work that brings a fresh, personal voice to Nordic folklore in comics.
