Der Aufschub

Jean-Pierre Gibrat and Eckart Schott collaborated on this brief, two-issue series from Salleck, a German publisher, during the late 1990s. Gibrat handled both writing and art, bringing his signature painterly style to a story that unfolds in a single, tense night. The premise follows a man who, after a chance encounter, must confront a past he has long tried to escape. This compact work is a striking example of Gibrat's ability to distill powerful emotion into a small, focused narrative.
