Gilgamesch

Jens Harder’s Gilgamesch, published by Carlsen Comics since 2017, is a single-issue German comic that reimagines the ancient Mesopotamian epic through the author’s distinctive, visually dense style. Harder, who both writes and illustrates the work, brings his signature blend of historical research and surreal, panoramic storytelling to this foundational myth. This standalone volume stands as a testament to Harder’s ability to distill millennia-old narratives into a modern, graphic form, offering a unique entry point into one of humanity’s oldest stories.
