Schönes neues Jahr

Baru’s Schönes neues Jahr is a standalone graphic novel from Edition 52, written and illustrated by Baru with co-writer Uwe Löhmann. Published in 2012, it captures the French-born cartoonist’s signature gritty, humanist storytelling, focusing on working-class lives and social tensions in contemporary Europe. This single-issue comic matters as a sharp, character-driven snapshot from a master of the bande dessinée tradition.
