H.L. Phoenix
H. L. Phoenix (b. 1982) is an awardwinning author, illustrator and comic book artist who grew up in a suburb outside Oslo. Arkin is his first graphic novel series, a portal fantasy series which won the inaugural Raven Rings Prize in 2022 with the nomination below. “Arkin is gorgeous, with worldclass illustrations. Captivating and emotional, like beloved animated movies… But Arkin is so much more than beautiful, it’s a life raft… It goes to the very core of what fantasy can be: Stories that provide meaning in meaninglessness. Hope, when everything seems hopeless.”
