Othello

A short-lived but striking German miniseries from Egmont Ehapa, Othello (2003–2006) reimagines Shakespeare’s tragedy as a dark, contemporary thriller across seven issues. The series is notable for its moody, atmospheric art and its compact, focused storytelling, which distills the original play’s themes of jealousy and manipulation into a modern setting. While it never achieved wide fame, it remains a curious and ambitious example of European literary adaptation in comics, showcasing how classic narratives can be effectively translated into a serialized visual medium.
