Krigstein #3

Haimo Kinzler's Krigstein series continues with this third volume from Zwerchfell, and the bright green cover sets a wonderfully absurdist tone right from the start. Kinzler's clean, loose linework depicts a lanky soldier lugging an oversized weapon, trailed by three small, conical-hatted figures armed with sticks — a wryly comic procession that captures the series' offbeat sensibility perfectly. For 12 EUR, this 2008 release offers fans of European alternative comics a distinctive voice doing exactly what it wants.
