Nick #1

This 1987 West German release from Norbert Hethke Verlag kicks off the Nick series with a story titled "Sputnik explodiert!" — a title that promises high-stakes science-fiction adventure right from the start. The entire issue is the work of Hansrudi Wäscher, who handled writing, art, inking, and lettering himself, showcasing the kind of dedicated solo craftsmanship that defined much of European comics storytelling. At 7,80 DEM, it's a compelling entry point into Wäscher's universe for fans of classic German-language comics.
