Lauter Leben!

Mikaël Ross’s Lauter Leben! is a single-issue comic from Berlin’s avant-verlag, launched in 2014. A warm, slice-of-life portrait of a Berlin housing cooperative, it captures the vibrant, messy, and communal energy of urban co-living through Ross’s expressive, character-driven art. This debut issue quickly established him as a distinctive voice in German alternative comics, offering a grounded, humanist counterpoint to more fantastical genres.
