Schöne Geschichten

Walter Moers’s Schöne Geschichten, a single-issue comic published by Eichborn in 1991, showcases the distinctive one-man-band approach of its creator, who both wrote and drew the work. As a standalone release, it captures Moers’s early, idiosyncratic style before he became a celebrated figure in German-language comics and literature. The series matters for marking the beginning of Moers’s career as a graphic storyteller, offering a compact glimpse into the surreal humor and detailed art that would define his later, more famous projects.
