Harry und Platte

In the late 1980s, Carlsen Comics brought the charming German translation of the long-running Belgian series Harry und Platte to readers, collecting the misadventures of two bumbling police officers across 17 issues. Anchored by the foundational writing of Maurice Tillieux and the distinctive, clean-lined art of Will, the series later saw contributions from Stephen Desberg and artist Éric Maltaite, maintaining its signature blend of slapstick humor and light-hearted crime-solving. A beloved staple of European funny-animal comics, it stands as a key example of the classic bande dessinée tradition in Germany.
