Die grossen Abenteuer Comics

From 1988 to 1993, Carlsen Comics' Die grossen Abenteuer Comics brought eleven oversized issues of European adventure storytelling to German readers, each a standalone volume showcasing the continent's finest graphic talents. The series featured work by masters like William Vance, Hans G. Kresse, and Matthias Schultheiss, whose atmospheric art defined the line, alongside writers such as André-Paul Duchâteau and Peter Daibenzeiher. It served as a curated showcase for epic, globe-trotting narratives, offering a vital window into the sophisticated bande dessinée tradition for a German audience.
