Der Prozess

Chick Publications’ Der Prozess (1997–present) is a single-issue German-language comic adaptation of the classic Franz Kafka novel, rendered in the publisher’s signature black-and-white tract style. Known for its evangelical Christian tract series, Chick Publications here applies its stark, didactic visual approach to Kafka’s nightmarish tale of legal persecution and existential dread. Though only one issue long, the comic stands as a curious artifact of the publisher’s brief foray into literary adaptation, offering a starkly literal interpretation of the original text.
