Berlin 61

In 2023, the independent publisher Anspach launched Berlin 61, a single-issue comic that drops readers into the tense, divided atmosphere of Cold War-era Berlin. So far, the series has focused on the stark realities of life in the shadow of the Wall, capturing the era's political and personal claustrophobia. Its tight, self-contained story makes it a potent snapshot of a specific moment in history, notable for its focused, atmospheric approach to historical fiction.
