Unanimously praised by critics, Halfdan Pisket's Danish Trilogy is considered the most ambitious graphic novel ever produced in Denmark and was awarded best series at the 2019 Angoulême Film Festival. The second part of the trilogy, Cockroach, is the story of an immigrant's hard survival in a foreign country. After James Pisket deserts the Turkish militia, he flees to Copenhagen to seek a new life. Far from his family and his shattered homeland, he will try to find his way in an indifferent society. Pisket makes his way in the world of drug trafficking and the violence of the Danish underworld, but also faces the possibility of love and forming a new family. Set in the seventies and drawn with spectacular graphic technique, Cockroach is a relentless fresco of society and an endearing story of redemption.
