Die Favoritin

Die Favoritin, launched by Carlsen Comics in 2016, is a German-language comic series that follows the story of a young woman navigating the cutthroat world of professional cycling. The debut issue establishes the gritty, high-stakes atmosphere of competitive sports, with a focus on ambition, sacrifice, and the pressure to succeed. While only one issue has been published to date, the series stands out for its niche subject matter and its exploration of a rarely depicted sporting world in comics.
