Lisístrata

Ralf König’s Lisístrata (1993–present, Ediciones La Cúpula) is a single-issue comic that reimagines Aristophanes’ classic anti-war comedy through König’s signature blend of bawdy humor and sharp social commentary. Known for his frank, often hilarious explorations of gay and queer life, the German cartoonist here adapts the ancient Greek tale of women withholding sex to end war into a modern, sexually charged farce. This standalone work stands as a vibrant example of König’s ability to merge classical themes with contemporary queer perspectives, cementing his reputation as a master of satirical, adult-oriented comics.
