Casey Ruggles

A modern German-language revival of a classic newspaper strip, Casey Ruggles (2015–present, Bocola Verlag) follows the adventures of its titular frontiersman across the Old West. This three-issue series is best known for the work of artist and writer Martin Frei, who brings a clean, contemporary line to the rugged setting. It matters as a respectful, full-color update of a mid-20th-century property, reintroducing a lesser-known Western hero to a new generation of readers.
