Haarmann

Based on the real-life case of Fritz Haarmann, this single-issue comic from Black Velvet, written by Peer Meter and illustrated by Isabel Kreitz, presents a stark, journalistic examination of one of Germany's most notorious serial killers. Rather than sensationalizing the crimes, the creative team focuses on the historical and social context of 1920s Hanover, crafting a somber and visually precise account. It stands as a notable example of European true-crime comics, prioritizing historical accuracy and psychological depth over exploitation.
