Der Exlibris

Ulf K. created this single-issue comic for Reprodukt in 2000, a self-contained story about a man who designs custom bookplates—ex libris—and the peculiar, introspective encounters that arise from his craft. With Ulf K. handling both writing and art, the book offers a quiet, character-driven meditation on memory and identity, rendered in his signature clean, expressive linework. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive example of European alternative comics from the early 2000s, showcasing Reprodukt’s commitment to thoughtful, auteur-driven work.
