Kindersägen

Klaus Pitter’s Kindersägen, launched in 1985 by Rowohlt, is a single-issue German comic that reimagines classic children’s tales through a darkly surreal, adult lens. Pitter’s distinctive, grotesque artwork transforms familiar nursery rhymes and fables into unsettling, satirical vignettes. Despite its brevity, the book endures as a cult artifact of European alternative comics, showcasing Pitter’s singular vision and the publisher’s willingness to push boundaries.
