About the series
A satirical German comic series launched in 1992 by Eichborn, Hermann der Germane lampoons national stereotypes and historical tropes through the adventures of its titular, perpetually grumpy ancient warrior. The series is most closely associated with the artwork of Klaus Pitter, whose expressive, cartoonish style brings a timeless, acerbic edge to the humor. Though comprising only a single issue to date, its enduring cult status in German comics stems from its sharp, politically incorrect wit and its status as a pointed commentary on national identity.
