Malcolm Max

In Malcolm Max, writer Peter Mennigen and artist Ingo Römling revive the classic German comic-strip tradition for Splitter Verlag, following the Victorian-era paranormal investigator and his companion, the enigmatic Charisma, on adventures that blend historical mystery with supernatural horror. Launched in 2013, the series draws on pulp sensibilities and Gothic atmosphere, with Römling’s detailed, dynamic artwork bringing 19th-century London and its occult underbelly to vivid life. It stands as a modern homage to the serialized adventure strip, offering a cohesive, character-driven saga that has quietly built a dedicated readership over its six-issue run.
