Nationalfeiertag

A single-issue comic from German publisher Schreiber & Leser, Nationalfeiertag (2023) is a collaboration between writer-artist Bastien Vivès, co-writer Martin Quenehen, and writer Resel Rebiersch. The story explores the tensions and contradictions of a national holiday, using Vivès’s clean, expressive linework to examine how collective celebration can mask personal and political fractures. It stands as a compact, character-driven snapshot of contemporary unease.
