Mangold

In a world where the alphabet is a living, breathing entity, Mangold (2014–present, Jaja Verlag) is a single-issue comic that turns typography into a surreal, visual adventure. Artist Nettmann brings this playful concept to life with a distinctive, hand-drawn style that treats letters as characters in their own right. A quiet, inventive gem from the German indie scene, it’s a testament to the creative possibilities of treating language as a playground.
