“Heidi,” Johanna Spyri’s classic set in the Alps, is reimagined by comic artists Ploy and Elmax in a contemporary context. In their graphic collection, they offer unique perspectives on the iconic character. The first Heidi, a young woman finding her way with her grandfather and nature, contrasts with the second Heidi – a silent grandmother deeply dedicated to environmental causes – observed by her granddaughter, Charlie. Two distinct portraits of Heidi intertwine, encouraging readers to reflect on the importance of nature, its preservation, and essential virtues.
