Flucht aus Berlin

Gerhard Seyfried's Flucht aus Berlin, launched in 1990 by Rotbuch Verlag, is a single-issue graphic novel that blends historical fiction with a satirical, punk-inflected sensibility. Written and drawn entirely by Seyfried, the book follows a group of characters attempting to escape the divided city in the late 1980s, capturing the chaotic energy just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. It stands as a distinctive, self-contained work from a key voice in German alternative comics, offering a personal and gritty take on a transformative moment in European history.
