Panther

Another masterpiece of European comics finally in Ukrainian, this time — a disturbing graphic novel about a little girl and her imaginary companion from the feline family. This story breaks all barriers with gorgeous watercolor drawings and narrative planning. Add a nuanced plot and skillful rendering of the human experience and you have a whimsical, dark masterpiece.

Khrystinka lives in a big house with her father and her cat Panna Kotivna. When Kotivna falls ill and dies, Khrystyna is devastated. But when she is left alone in her room, something special happens: a panther jumps out of the dresser drawer and tells her stories about the distant Pantherland, where he is the crown prince. Panther's stories are more enticing than Christina's real life, but in the created world, without toys and friends, things can get out of control.
