Spring #21

The cover of Spring #21 says everything with elegant economy: a running figure — rendered in bold terracotta and white — bursts through the silhouette of a giant head, strings trailing like a puppet breaking free, all framed by the striking German phrase "Spring Macht" (Jump/Power). Mairisch Verlag's literary comics anthology continues to pair graphic design ambition with genuine storytelling curiosity, and this 2024 edition looks as sharp as ever. At 26.00 EUR, it's a handsome object that announces itself with real conviction.
