Die Götter aus dem All

In the late 1970s, the German publisher Bastei Verlag launched Die Götter aus dem All, an eight-issue comic series that brought Erich von Däniken's controversial "ancient astronaut" theories to vivid life. Scripted primarily by Alfred Górny and Arnold Mostowicz, with striking artwork by Polish illustrator Bogusław Polch, each issue explored the idea that extraterrestrial visitors shaped early human civilization. A distinctive blend of science fiction and speculative history, the series stands as a cult artifact of its era, translating a global pop-culture phenomenon into a uniquely European comic format.
