Die Krake im Nacken

A spare, unsettling debut from avant-verlag, Die Krake im Nacken (2024–present) unfolds as a single-issue comic whose title translates to "The Octopus in the Neck." The series opens with a premise that suggests a surreal, psychological weight pressing down on its characters, though its full scope remains to be seen. Published by the Berlin-based house known for literary and experimental graphic narratives, this series is already notable for its stark, evocative imagery. As a work in progress, it marks a distinctive new voice in contemporary German comics.
