Genio per amore

Ralf König, the celebrated German cartoonist, brings his signature blend of sharp humor and humanist warmth to this Italian-published one-shot from Kappa Edizioni. Genio per amore follows a lonely man who summons a genie, only to find the wish-granting spirit has a mind—and a heart—of its own. König's distinctive, expressive art and witty dialogue turn a classic fantasy trope into a tender, comedic exploration of desire and connection. It's a compact but memorable entry in König's acclaimed body of work, offering a self-contained story that showcases his talent for finding both laughs and pathos in the everyday.
