Darwin

In 2023, Swedish publisher Cobolt Förlag launched Darwin, a four-issue comic series that reimagines the naturalist’s legacy as a modern-day thriller. The story follows a descendant of Charles Darwin who inherits a dangerous scientific secret, blending evolutionary theory with high-stakes adventure. Written and illustrated by a creative team that brings a distinctly European sensibility to the genre, Darwin stands out for its sleek, atmospheric art and its clever use of scientific history as a narrative engine. A compact, self-contained series, it offers a fresh, intelligent spin on the legacy of one of science’s most famous figures.
