Working Poor

In this four-issue miniseries from 2021–2022, Danish writer-artist Lars Kramhøft crafts a stark, humanist portrait of economic struggle, following characters caught in the grinding realities of low-wage labor. Published by an independent press, the series uses a muted, expressive visual style to explore themes of dignity, survival, and the invisible toll of poverty. Kramhøft’s focused, intimate storytelling makes Working Poor a quietly powerful addition to the social-realist tradition in comics.
