Bleierne Hitze

Baru’s Bleierne Hitze is a single-issue graphic novel from Edition 52, published in 2013, that distills the raw, socially charged storytelling of the acclaimed French artist into a German-language release. Written by Baru, Jean Vautrin, and Uwe Löhmann, with Baru’s signature expressive artwork, this comic captures a moment of working-class life and political tension with the gritty realism that defines his most celebrated work. It stands as a potent, self-contained snapshot of Baru’s enduring ability to fuse personal drama with broader social commentary.
