Der weiße Lama

Georges Bess’s lush, detailed art brings Alejandro Jodorowsky’s mystical vision to life in Der weiße Lama, a German-language graphic novel series from Egmont Ehapa that began in 1992. Co-written with Helmut Mennicken, this single-issue story explores themes of spiritual transformation and Tibetan Buddhist mythology through a Western lens. Its striking visuals and metaphysical narrative make it a distinctive entry in Jodorowsky’s body of work, notable for its collaboration with Bess.
