Roy & Al

Ralf König’s Roy & Al (2004–present, Männerschwarm) is a single-issue comic that spotlights two of his most enduring characters, the gay couple Roy and Al, in a standalone story. Created by the legendary German cartoonist known for his warm, bawdy humor and sharp social commentary, this entry offers a self-contained glimpse into their domestic life and adventures. Though brief, it’s a charming addition to König’s celebrated body of work, which has been pivotal in bringing queer narratives to mainstream European comics.
