Klassiker der DDR-Bildgeschichte #27

Part of Holzhof Comics' charming "Klassiker der DDR-Bildgeschichte" reprint series, this 27th volume spotlights Wolfgang Schubert's beloved strip character Felix, der Erfinder — Felix the Inventor. The cover illustration jumps ahead "38 Jahre später" (38 years later), showing a proudly bespectacled Felix receiving a Nobel Prize for Physics certificate from a presenter while a beaming blonde woman looks on with a bouquet of flowers — a wonderfully warm payoff to a lifetime of tinkering. A bonus "Ferienpost" section rounds out this November 2013 edition, making it a delightful showcase of East German comic-strip humor at its most warmhearted.
