Die Trollbrücke

In the tradition of dark German fairy tales, Die Trollbrücke (2023–present, Splitter Verlag) reimagines the Brothers Grimm's "The Wishing-Table, the Gold-Ass, and the Cudgel in the Sack" as a grim fantasy. This debut issue, crafted by a creative team known for atmospheric European comics, follows a miller's youngest son who inherits a magical table that produces a feast, only to have it stolen by a greedy innkeeper. The series stands out for its lush, detailed artwork and its unflinching look at the consequences of wish fulfillment, offering a mature, visually rich take on folklore for modern audiences.
