Die Entdeckung der Currywurst

Published by Carlsen Comics in 1996, this German one-shot adapts Uwe Timm’s novella into a graphic novel by Isabel Kreitz, who both writes and illustrates. Kreitz’s warm, detailed art brings to life the story’s Hamburg setting, capturing the chance encounter and nostalgic reflection that gave rise to a beloved street-food legend. A thoughtful, visually rich single-issue work that demonstrates how comics can translate literary fiction with care and charm.
