Mehltau

Lewis Trondheim’s Mehltau, published by Reprodukt since 2000, is a spare, surreal one-shot comic that distills his signature blend of deadpan humor and existential whimsy. Known for his prolific work in European bande dessinée, Trondheim writes and draws this standalone tale, which matters as a compact showcase of his ability to find melancholy and absurdity in everyday life.
