Mabuse

Isabel Kreitz’s moody art and co-writing with Eckart Breitschuh brought a German comics revival to Carlsen Comics with this seven-issue series from 2000 to 2001. A modern reimagining of the classic Dr. Mabuse character, it updates the master criminal’s hypnotic menace for a contemporary, noir-tinged thriller. Kreitz’s distinctive, atmospheric linework gave the series a cool, cinematic feel, making it a standout in early-2000s German genre comics.
