ARTIST
MARION DENGLER
Marion is a non-binary queer comic artist living in Berlin, trying to work as a freelancer. Likes the macabre and gothic horror. “My main inspirarions are Symbolism, Art nouveau and works from the golden age of illustration. Eerie, mysterious stuff is my jam, which is why my stories and illustrations tend to veer into magic realism, if not outright fantasy. I grew up with Franco-Belgian comics, started reading manga after that and now primarily read American indie graphic novels, preferably with queer themes. Successfully blending these three different styles of comic art and narration is something I want to achieve in my work.”
