Neue Geschichten aus 1001 Nacht

In 1981, Volksverlag published the first issue of Neue Geschichten aus 1001 Nacht, a German comic series that adapts the classic tales of One Thousand and One Nights through the singular, visceral lens of American artist Richard Corben. Corben, the most frequent artist associated with the series, brings his signature blend of lush, grotesque detail and atmospheric storytelling to these erotic and fantastical narratives. Though the series launched with a single issue, it stands as a distinctive European-published showcase of Corben's mature work, merging pulp adventure with dark, adult sensibilities.
