Haarmann

In this stark German graphic novel from Carlsen Comics, writer Peer Meter and artist Isabel Kreitz examine the true story of Fritz Haarmann, the "Vampire of Hanover," whose murders terrorized 1920s Germany. Kreitz’s expressionistic black-and-white art captures the grim atmosphere of the Weimar Republic, while Meter’s narrative resists sensationalism, instead probing the societal failures that allowed a serial killer to evade justice. A single, self-contained issue, it stands as a haunting work of historical true-crime comics from a celebrated German creative team.
