Hessa

A haunting fantasy-horror series from Auda Isarn, Hessa (2016–2021) follows a young woman in a remote, snowbound village who is chosen as a living sacrifice to a malevolent forest spirit. Across 13 issues, the story explores themes of survival, identity, and resistance against an ancient, cruel pact. Isarn’s lush, atmospheric art and stark storytelling make this a quietly powerful work in independent comics, earning a devoted readership for its unflinching look at folklore and agency.
