Jorgen Van Santen, a comic artist from Oslo, Norway, has created a delightful series called “Death & the Maiden,” humorously exploring the afterlife. The story revolves around two main characters – death and a young woman who passed away in an accident. Through their unique friendship, readers get a peek into the afterlife and its funny differences from the world of the living.
In a recent interview, Jorgen shared, “I’ve always been fascinated by death, and as a secular person, I decided to create my take on the afterlife. It might not be perfect, but I think it’s better than many other theories about what happens when we die.”
Now, let’s dive into Jorgen’s imaginative portrayal of the afterlife.
Jorgen revealed, “I find research boring, so I take creative liberties, especially since there are no hard facts about life after death.”
“Death & the Maiden” has a significant online following of 64.2K followers. Jorgen noted, “Fan feedback matters. It helps me understand what works and what doesn’t. I’ve adjusted my stories and characters based on their reactions.”

Fans play a crucial role, and Jorgen shared surprising instances, saying, “I had a reader who got very ‘excited’ about one character. It was quite interesting.”
Addressing plans, Jorgen said, “I have many ideas but little free time. I want to create longer stories, like one where a character ends up permanently in the realm of death. I also plan to continue improving the art style, humor, and storytelling to keep readers engaged.”
