Flussaufwärts #[nn]

Two small figures stand at the edge of a luminous white river that winds upward through a star-filled night sky toward a crescent moon — a quietly breathtaking image that makes the German title "Flussaufwärts" (Upstream) feel both literal and deeply poetic. Hannes Klesse's black-and-white cover art, with its flowing contour lines and scattered constellations, has a meditative, handcrafted quality that sets this 2025 TheNextArt Verlag release apart from the crowd. If you're drawn to introspective, visually striking comics with a distinctly European sensibility, this one belongs in your hands.
