Zel

Published by a small press since 2000, Zel is a Finnish comic series by Ville Pokela that blends surreal fantasy with quiet, atmospheric storytelling. Across its two issues, the series follows a mysterious protagonist through a dreamlike world, distinguished by Pokela's expressive, minimalist art and a tone that balances melancholy with wonder. Though brief, Zel is a cult gem for its evocative, wordless sequences and its place in the Nordic indie comics scene.
