drüben!

Drüben! is a single-issue graphic novel from the German publisher avant-verlag, created entirely by Simon Schwartz. A deeply personal work, it explores the artist's family history, focusing on his parents' decision to flee East Germany in the 1980s. Schwartz’s stark, expressive black-and-white art brings this intimate Cold War story to life, making it a standout example of autobiographical European comics.
