Der große Mordillo

This German series collects the wordless, single-panel cartoons of Mordillo, the Argentine-born artist celebrated for his bulbous-nosed characters and surreal, poignant humor. Published by Bertelsmann from 1976, Der große Mordillo serves as a definitive showcase of his distinctive visual style, where whimsical, often melancholic scenes explore love, absurdity, and the human condition without a single speech bubble. Its enduring appeal lies in Mordillo's masterful ability to communicate complex emotions through expressive, globular figures and meticulously detailed, dreamlike settings.
