Herr Alptraum und die Segnungen des Fortschritts

In the 2011 one-shot Herr Alptraum und die Segnungen des Fortschritts, German publisher Glücklicher Montag presents a standalone, surreal exploration of nightmare and modernity. The single issue, written and drawn by an unnamed creator, distills a darkly philosophical premise into a compact, self-contained work. This comic matters as a curious artifact of early-2010s German independent publishing, offering a tightly focused meditation on its title's promise of progress's blessings through a dreamlike lens.
