Der Realist

Asaf Hanuka’s Der Realist is a single-issue German-language comic from Cross Cult, collecting a poignant, autobiographical series of vignettes originally published in Israeli newspapers. Through Hanuka’s distinctive, dreamlike art, it captures the surreal, often mundane struggles of a modern father and artist navigating family, politics, and daily life in Tel Aviv. This slim volume remains a powerful, intimate snapshot of a creator’s world, acclaimed for its honest blend of humor, anxiety, and visual poetry.
