Die Abenteuer von Nero und Co

In this short-lived 1970s German comic series from Rädler, the beloved Flemish cartoonist Marc Sleen (credited under both his own name and the pseudonym Marc Neels) brings the chaotic, globe-trotting adventures of the mustachioed detective Nero and his eccentric supporting cast to a new audience. Over its 12-issue run, Sleen’s signature blend of slapstick humor, political satire, and intricate linework defines the series, with co-writer E. Vrydaghs contributing to the scripts. Though brief, Die Abenteuer von Nero und Co stands as a notable German-language iteration of Sleen’s long-running Nero strip, offering a curated glimpse into one of Belgium’s most enduring comic creations.
