Strangelands

A bold, all-too-brief two-issue series from Les Humanoïdes Associés, Strangelands (2019–2020) is a surreal, genre-blending journey that follows two lovers fleeing across a bizarre, shifting landscape of psychic phenomena and cosmic oddities. The series is a showcase for the evocative, painterly art of Christian Højgaard, whose lush visuals bring to life the strange and beautiful world co-created with writer Dave Baker. Though short-lived, it stands as a striking example of modern European-style sci-fi storytelling, dense with atmosphere and a sense of wonder.
