Der König der Fliegen

In the early 2010s, German publisher avant-verlag released Der König der Fliegen, a three-issue comic series that reimagines the classic Lord of the Flies narrative through a dark, psychological lens. The series is known for its stark, expressionistic artwork and its unflinching exploration of power, violence, and the collapse of civilization among a group of stranded children. Though brief, its intense, self-contained story has made it a notable entry in German independent comics.
