Grease – Schmiere

In 1979, Bastei Verlag launched Grease – Schmiere, a single-issue German comic adaptation of the hit musical and film Grease. Translating the story of 1950s greaser Danny Zuko and wholesome Sandy Olsson into a comic format, this release captured the era's rock-and-roll energy for a new audience. While brief, it stands as a period-specific artifact of Bastei's broader output, offering a nostalgic, localized take on the iconic tale.
