About the series
In Heathen (2017–2020), Vault Comics published a three-issue series that reimagines Norse mythology through a queer lens, following a Viking warrior who defies her village’s rigid traditions to rescue the Valkyrie Brynhild from a curse. Writer and artist Natasha Alterici crafts a lush, atmospheric world of gods and monsters, with the story’s emotional core rooted in its heroine’s defiant search for freedom and love. Though brief, the series stands out for its bold, inclusive take on legend, earning a devoted readership for its art and heart.
