Schöne Aussichten

Marie Marcks, a pioneering German cartoonist, launched Schöne Aussichten in 1980 with Elefanten Press, a single-issue comic that distilled her sharp, feminist, and politically incisive humor into a standalone collection. Known for her distinctive, minimalist linework and biting social commentary, Marcks used this volume to critique everyday sexism, environmental neglect, and the absurdities of West German life. Though brief, the series stands as a key document of 1980s German alternative comics, showcasing the work of one of the country’s most influential and long-running satirists.
