Der Wolf

Set in the French Alps, Der Wolf is a stark, ecological fable from Knesebeck, written by Anja Kootz and Jean-Marc Rochette, with Rochette also handling the art. The series follows a lone wolf as it navigates a shrinking wilderness, confronting both the brutal realities of nature and the encroaching threat of human civilization. Since its 2020 debut, this single-issue story has been praised for its powerful, wordless visual storytelling and its unflinching look at the cost of progress. It stands as a poignant, timely meditation on the relationship between humanity and the wild.
