Herr Merz

Lars Fiske’s Herr Merz, launched in 2012 through No Comprendo Press, is a single-issue comic that reimagines the life and work of the Dadaist artist Kurt Schwitters through a playful, visually inventive lens. Fiske, the sole writer and artist, blends biography with avant-garde art history, channeling Schwitters’ own collage aesthetic into the comic’s structure. This series matters for its intimate, experimental approach to portraying a key figure in modern art, offering a unique entry point into Dada’s legacy within the comics medium.
