Heute ist der letzte Tag vom Rest deines Lebens

Ulli Lust’s autobiographical graphic novel, published by avant-verlag from 2009 onward, captures her reckless teenage journey hitchhiking from Germany to Italy in the 1980s. Written and drawn entirely by Lust, the single-volume work is a raw, unflinching account of survival, desire, and the harsh edges of youth. It stands as a landmark of European autobiographical comics, celebrated for its honest, expressive black-and-white art and its unvarnished portrayal of a young woman navigating a dangerous world.
