Sam Cobean's Abziehbildchen

Sam Cobean's Abziehbildchen, a single-issue comic published by Diogenes Verlag in 1957, collects the wordless, whimsical single-panel cartoons of the late New Yorker artist Sam Cobean. Known for his gently surreal humor and elegant, spare linework, Cobean's work here captures a quiet, mid-century wit that bridges gag cartooning and fine art. Though a brief publication, it stands as a charming snapshot of a distinctive cartoonist's sensibility, preserved by a German publisher with a keen eye for international talent.
