Klassiker der DDR-Bildgeschichte #29

Issue 29 of Holzhof Comics' Klassiker der DDR-Bildgeschichte spotlights Ako, the charming comic strip creation of Klaus Vonderwerth, celebrating a beloved chapter of East German comics history. The cover shows the round-faced, beret-wearing Ako cradling a small hedgehog while several wild boar piglets snuffle curiously around his feet — a warm, gently humorous scene that captures the series' easy rapport between its young hero and the animal world. A strip panel header along the top offers a teaser of Vonderwerth's clean, expressive line work, making this 2014 retrospective collection an appealing window into the DDR's distinctive cartooning tradition.
