Zenobia

In a single, potent issue from Seven Stories Press, Zenobia (2018–present) delivers a stark, intimate portrait of a Syrian woman’s struggle to survive and protect her daughter amid the horrors of civil war. Written and drawn by Morten Dürr and Lars Horneman, this graphic novel distills the refugee experience into a powerful, minimalist narrative, using spare art and quiet moments to underscore the human cost of conflict. Though brief, it stands as a poignant and necessary work, bringing a contemporary crisis to the comics page with unflinching clarity.
