Das Getriebe

Christophe Blain’s Das Getriebe, published by Reprodukt since 2008, is a single-issue graphic novel that blends political intrigue with sharp social observation. Written by Blain and Kai Wilksen, with Blain providing the artwork, the story unfolds in a near-future setting where a mysterious machine—the "Getriebe"—becomes the catalyst for a tense, character-driven drama. Its clean, expressive ligne claire style and focused narrative make it a distinctive entry in Blain’s body of work, offering a compact, thought-provoking tale about power and consequence.
