Kondom des Grauens

Ralf König’s Kondom des Grauens (1988–present) is a singular, satirical one-shot from German publisher Kunst der Comics (later Alpha), blending horror parody with König’s trademark bawdy, queer humor. Written and illustrated entirely by König, this standalone issue uses a monstrous, sexually transmitted creature as a vehicle for deadpan social commentary and absurdist comedy. A cult classic in German alternative comics, it remains a sharp, irreverent artifact of late-80s underground humor, showcasing König’s distinctive cartooning and unapologetically frank voice.
