Knarrende Schuhe

In the early 1990s, Arche Verlag launched Knarrende Schuhe, a single-issue comic adaptation of Friedrich Glauser’s crime novel, brought to life by Swiss artist Hannes Binder, who both wrote and illustrated the work. Binder’s stark, woodcut-like black-and-white panels capture the gritty, atmospheric tension of Glauser’s original story, a classic of German-language detective fiction. This standalone volume stands as a distinctive, moody graphic novel that bridges literary noir with European comics artistry.
