Zelda

In the early 2010s, Swedish cartoonist Lina Neidestam, joined by writer Lasse Espe, brought a fresh, witty take on modern womanhood to Scandinavian comics with Zelda. Published by Hjemmet/Egmont over four issues from 2013 to 2016, the series centers on its sharp, relatable protagonist navigating work, love, and the absurdities of everyday life. Neidestam’s clean, expressive art and deadpan humor made this a standout slice-of-life comic, offering a warm yet pointed look at contemporary femininity.
