Der Janitor

A compact, five-issue German series from Schreiber & Leser, Der Janitor (2007–2017) follows the grim, solitary work of a supernatural janitor tasked with cleaning up the messes left by monsters and otherworldly horrors. Known for its moody, minimalist art and slow-burn horror, the series is most associated with its creator, who builds a quiet, unsettling atmosphere around a protagonist more janitor than hero. It matters as a cult, understated entry in European horror comics, proving that even the most mundane job can become a chilling, thankless fight against the dark.
