Someday I'm gonna have to email Nils Hamm and find out why he's not doing more comics (and I should also ask him exactly what European country he is from). Astro is his only work I know of, a wonderful tale of getting lost then finding your true self in a strange place, all disguised in a sci-fi garment. Painted, drawn and using mixed media, the story is simply a space boy falling from the sky to a new world (which looks curiously like our own), and trying to figure out how he can fit in. It's completely wordless, a gem, and if the impressionistic images don't make you nuts for more of Hamm's mind-blowing work, then get thee back to art class.
