About the series
In Swan (2004–2010), DC Comics presented a 15-issue series centered on the demanding world of professional ballet, written and illustrated primarily by Ariyoshi Kyoko alongside writer Maya Perry. The story follows a young dancer's rigorous journey through competition and artistic ambition, exploring the physical and emotional toll of pursuing perfection in dance. With Kyoko’s expressive art capturing the grace and intensity of ballet, the series stands out as a focused, character-driven drama that brings a niche performing arts setting to the superhero-dominated landscape of DC.
