Als wir gegen die Deutschen verloren haben #[nn]

From avant-verlag in 2016 comes this striking German-language graphic novel by Guido van Driel and Annelie David, its cover depicting a young woman with flowing white hair seated atop a large red ball, her back to us as she gazes toward a row of urban apartment blocks beneath a wide, cloud-streaked sky. The painted cover art — rendered in pencils and inks by van Driel himself — has a quietly dreamlike quality, placing this solitary figure between the ordinary world of suburban architecture and something altogether more contemplative. A thoughtful, visually arresting work that announces itself with real confidence.
