Ein Königreich, ein strahlender Ritter, ein Edelschurke mit einem dunklen Geheimnis – und High-Tech im Dienste von Heldentum und Recht und Ordnung: Die Welt von »Nimona« ist nicht ganz das, was man etwa von Grimms Märchen erwarten würde. Nimona selbst im Übrigen auch nicht. Die enthusiastische, etwas aufdringliche Teenagerin steht eines Tages unerwartet im Schlupfwinkel von Erzbösewicht Ballister Blackheart, um sich ihm als Sidekick anzudienen. Ihre Begeisterung für seine schurkischen Pläne ist eine Sache, aber was ihn letztlich überzeugt, ist eine andere Eigenschaft von ihr: Sie ist eine Gestaltwandlerin. Das weckt unweigerlich auch das Interesse des Instituts für Recht und Ordnung und Heldentum, und damit geraten alsbald die Verhältnisse im Märchenreich nachhaltig ins Wanken. Die anfangs saubere Unterscheidung von Gut und Böse wird zunehmend unklarer, und was zunächst als heiteres Spiel mit Genre-Stereotypen beginnt, gewinnt stetig an Fahrt und Tiefgang, bis die Story in einer dramatischen Fabel um Freundschaft und Verrat gipfelt, also doch einem klassischen Märchenmotiv. Aber was will man anderes erwarten von einer Erzählung, bei der eine Gestaltwandlerin eine zentrale Rolle spielt? Die Fans von »Nimona« im Internet waren seinerzeit jedenfalls bei der Erstveröffentlichung von ND Stevensons Fantasy-Parodie als Web-Comic süchtig nach jeder neuen, unerwarteten Wendung.

A fictional and complex portrait of bestselling author Patricia Highsmith, this narrative serves as both a tribute to the essential lesbian novel, "The Price of Salt," and an exploration of its controversial creator. Veteran comics creators Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer present the story through Highsmith's perspective, reimagining the events that inspired her foundational work in queer literature. The tale begins with Pat reluctantly writing low-brow comics, feeling trapped in a life of drinking, smoking, and self-loathing. Despite her struggles, her mind is alive with visions of the great novel she longs to write—what will eventually become "Strangers on a Train," later adapted into a classic Hitchcock film. Amidst her tumultuous life, marked by conversion therapy and a series of fleeting romances, a significant affair and a chance encounter spark the idea for her groundbreaking love story that offered lesbian protagonists a happy ending. This narrative not only recounts the origins of a classic queer book but also delves into the life of a deeply flawed queer artist. It reflects on the challenges of writing in the 1950s while addressing the timeless struggle for a writer to find their voice. Ellis contextualizes Highsmith as an unintentional queer icon, acknowledging her problematic views and the complexities of her legacy, where life and art intertwined with often devastating consequences.
