Das Glück hat uns links liegenlassen

In 1995, German publisher Achterbahn released this single-issue comic from French artist Jean-Marc Reiser, a bleakly humorous exploration of life’s disappointments. The title translates to “Luck has left us lying on the left,” capturing the cynical, deadpan tone Reiser brings to his vignettes of everyday misfortune. Though brief, the work stands as a stark, characteristically unflinching example of Reiser’s satirical style, offering a snapshot of his European comic sensibilities from the mid-1990s.
