Die Fliege

Lewis Trondheim’s Die Fliege is a wordless, black-and-white comic from German publisher Reprodukt, launched in 1998. The series follows a single, silent fly navigating a series of absurd, often perilous situations, with Trondheim’s expressive art carrying every beat of the story. Its debut issue established a distinctive, minimalist approach to visual storytelling that would define the entire run.
