Overview Fallet

An elephant boy is running through the forest, fleeing from someone or something. Is he being kept prisoner in a castle? He escapes by leaving his shadow behind in his place. He goes on to become a successful businessman in a big city. But something is missing.

What will happen when he meets his shadow again?

A picture-based adventure from Øyvind Torseter, one of our most critically acclaimed and garlanded illustrators and authors.

«... a new and exciting addition to Torseter's extensive catalogue.»
DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV

«He is one of the most extinguished illustrators we have, with the ability to stack different techniques and elements on top of each other, in a way that would have collapsed by most other artists.»
BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO

«... Torseter's neat line is as alive and expressive as previously, and it enables him to tell a story mainly through graphics like few other Norwegian series creators can.»

Lek med strek og skygger 11.10.2024

«Han er en av de dyktigste illustratørene vi har, med en evne til å stable forskjellige teknikker og elementer oppå og ved siden av hverandre, på en måte som hos andre ville ha kollapset.»

Walter Wehus, Barnebokkritikk.no

Skyggen min og jeg 29.09.2024

«… Torseters sirlige strek er like levende og talende som før, og gjør ham i stand til å fortelle historier rent grafisk som få andre norske serieskapere.»
