Der Turm

In 1988, Reiner-Feest-Verlag published the single-issue German-language edition of Der Turm, a standalone comic by the celebrated Belgian duo of writer Benoît Peeters and artist François Schuiten. This dense, architectural fable—part of their larger "Obscure Cities" cycle—explores a surreal, monumental tower that becomes a metaphor for obsession and the limits of human ambition. Though brief, it stands as a key entry in their acclaimed body of work, showcasing Schuiten's meticulous, otherworldly linework and Peeters' philosophically charged storytelling.
