Ismyre - Böcker

When his sculptures begin to disappear, a detective friend investigates -- and starts thinking that these thefts may be linked to the eco-terrorism in the city. Exploring themes of loneliness in cities, ecology, craftsmanship, and the self doubt that goes with making things, Ismyre is a quiet and fantastical mystery tale, set in an old world of ordinary magic.

Alongside a crew of ex-academics and inhabitants of smaller surrounding villages, Henriett and Niklas work together to uncover the strange imbalance being created in the world.In moving pencil and watercolor artwork, this graphic novel explores the motives and back story of Ismyre's mysterious eco-anarchist wizards and their terroristic, floral tendencies.
