Fliegenpapier

A single-issue comic from the 1982 German publisher Zweitausendeins, Fliegenpapier adapts Dashiell Hammett’s story with a distinctive visual approach from artist Hans Hillmann, who also co-wrote alongside Carl Weissner. This collaboration captures the hardboiled mood of Hammett’s prose through stark, expressionistic imagery, making it a notable artifact of European literary comics.
