Janosch Comic #2

The second entry in Janosch's charming German comic series spotlights Die Globeriks — and the cover sets a delightfully playful tone, featuring a shaggy, wild-haired creature enthusiastically hammering away at a tall contraption while golden stars fly through the air. Published in 1973 by Ravensburger Taschenbücher, the whole package carries Janosch's distinctive loose, warmly humorous illustration style, rendered here entirely by his own hand from pencils to inks. With the subtitle Hau den Lukas! — a nod to the classic carnival strength-tester game — this compact little book promises the kind of gentle, wry fun that made Janosch a beloved figure in children's illustrated storytelling.
