The Marriage of Njord and Skadi – comic
The giantess Skadi seeks revenge on the gods of Asgard, only to find herself wedded to Njord, lord of the seaways. As grief turns to hope, can opposites attract? Can even gods and giants overcome the hand life deals us? Is making do ever enough? Full-colour 24-page comic retelling the Icelandic myth of Njord and Skadi, created with artist Simon Russell. “Simon Russell’s evocative art perfectly complements Jon Mason’s lyrical retelling of this little-known classic of Norse myth. Simultaneously melancholic and cathartic, it’s a tale that lingers long after the final page has been turned, demanding numerous readings.” – Tim Pilcher, comics editor and co-author of How Comics Work.
