Description

It has been a long road from the beginnings of German-language comic classics by Wilhelm Busch to Rolf Kauka's Eulenspiegel publications, the avant-garde of the 1990s, and the current graphic novels. In the meantime, the German comic landscape has also been able to establish itself internationally: Barbara Yelin, Olivia Vieweg, Stefanie Wunderlich, Nora Krug, Birgit Weyhe, Jens Harder, Sascha Hommer and many more have been translated into various languages and now enjoy a wide readership outside the German-speaking world. Nevertheless, German comics have retained their identity and make no compromises in terms of content.

Our focus portrays the current comics scene as well as some of the most important German authors. We take a look back at the last decades of German comics history and also let some of the scene's protagonists have their say.
