Lieschen

A darkly satirical West German series published by Goldmann from 1985 to 1990, Lieschen ran for four issues and was most consistently illustrated by Erich Rauschenbach. It offered a cynical, adult-oriented take on the cheerful domesticity of a classic German comic strip character, subverting the "Lieschen" archetype for a more unsettling, politically charged era. The series stands as a notable, brief example of how European comics in the 1980s reworked familiar tropes into pointed social commentary.
