Gestalten des Protestantismus #[6]

This 2009 volume from Evangelisches Medienhaus brings the life of Martin Luther (1483–1546) to vivid life "in Wort und Bild" — in word and image. The cover presents a striking painted portrait of Luther himself in the foreground, rendered in warm earthy tones, alongside an inset comic panel showing him seated at a writing desk surrounded by books, a speech bubble hinting at the weight of his scholarly labors. Jean Retailleau's artwork bridges biography and sequential art in a way that makes this slice of Reformation history feel immediately accessible and engaging.
