Der Drogenbaum

Alain Voss wrote and drew this single-issue German comic from Volksverlag, published in 1984. A stark, self-contained work, Der Drogenbaum explores the grim realities of drug abuse through Voss’s unflinching, expressionistic art. Its place in the publisher’s catalog reflects Volksverlag’s focus on socially conscious, often countercultural material during the 1980s. This obscure but potent one-shot stands as a raw, personal statement from its creator.
