About the series
A Swedish science fiction graphic novel from Kartago förlag, Aniara (2016–present) adapts Harry Martinson’s epic poem into a stark, single-issue comic. Illustrated by artist and writer Simon Gärdenfors, this modern retelling preserves the original’s existential dread, following a spaceship carrying refugees from a dying Earth as it drifts irreversibly off course through the cosmos. Its lone issue distills the poem’s philosophical weight into a haunting, visual meditation on isolation and memory.
