Memento Mori - A Circus Tale

A starkly beautiful black-and-white one-shot from Germany's Schwarzer Turm, Memento Mori - A Circus Tale (2023) is a haunting, wordless meditation on mortality set within the eerie confines of a traveling circus. Artist Julia Schlax crafts a surreal, atmospheric journey through shadowy tents and spectral performers, using only expressive linework to tell a story of life, death, and the liminal space between. This single issue stands as a powerful, self-contained visual narrative that showcases the evocative potential of silent comics.
