Der kühle Bräutigam

Rodolphe Töpffer’s Der kühle Bräutigam is a single, pioneering comic strip from 1968, published by Rowohlt. Though created decades earlier in the 19th century, this edition presents Töpffer’s charming, satirical picture story—a forerunner of the modern comic—to a new audience. As one of the medium’s earliest masters, Töpffer’s work here is essential for understanding the very origins of sequential art.
