Konfuzius und der Räuber Zhi

Insel Verlag’s 1978 one-shot comic Konfuzius und der Räuber Zhi adapts a classic Chinese philosophical dialogue into a single, self-contained graphic narrative. Published as a standalone issue, it translates an ancient parable into the comic medium, offering a visual meditation on Confucian ethics and the figure of the notorious bandit Zhi. While the series has a single issue, its enduring presence in print since 1978 highlights its significance as a unique, thoughtful entry in European alternative comics.
