Lebensborn

In 2025, the Swiss publisher Helvetiq launched Lebensborn, a historical comic series that confronts the dark legacy of the Nazi Lebensborn program. With only a single issue released so far, the series promises a focused, harrowing exploration of this real-world eugenics initiative. Though early in its run, it stands as a notable addition to European historical comics, tackling a deeply uncomfortable chapter of the 20th century through a graphic narrative lens. The series matters for its willingness to bring a little-known atrocity into the light of sequential art.
