Leonid & Sputnika

In the early 1990s, German publisher Carlsen Comics released this short-lived, three-issue series blending science fiction with a touch of Cold War nostalgia. Leonid & Sputnika follows the adventures of a cosmonaut and his canine companion, drawing on the iconography of the Soviet space program. The series is a curious artifact of its era, reflecting post-reunification German comics' interest in reimagining Eastern Bloc imagery.
