Putzi

Putzi (2024–present) is a historical comic from Futuropolis, focusing on the life of Ernst “Putzi” Hanfstaengl, a German-American businessman and early supporter of Adolf Hitler. The series, currently spanning a single issue, delves into the complex, often overlooked figure who served as a confidant and propagandist within the Nazi inner circle before falling from favor. This debut is the work of writer and artist François Krug, whose research-driven narrative explores the intersection of wealth, power, and political allegiance in 1930s Germany. It matters as a nuanced, character-driven study of a peripheral yet pivotal player in history’s darkest chapter.
