Harun al-Raschid

Harun al-Raschid, the legendary Abbasid caliph of Arabian Nights fame, appears as a character in the German comic series Mosaik, joining its eclectic cast including Abrax, Califax, and Abul Abbas in stories set within his historically rich world.

A figure steeped in legend steps into the pages of Mosaik — Harun al-Raschid made his debut in 2021, brought to life by creator Jens-Uwe Schubert in issue #552 of this beloved long-running German anthology series. Published by Mosaik Steinchen für Steinchen Verlag, he joins a colorful cast that includes Abrax, Califax, Ratte, Abul Abbas, and Gertrud, the kind of eclectic company that makes Mosaik such a distinctive corner of the comics world. With seven catalog appearances across 2021–2022, he's a Modern Age addition to a series with deep roots in European comics culture — and for fans of Mosaik's richly imagined storytelling, he's a character well worth seeking out.
