Seemannsgarn und andere Hamburg-Comics

Chris Scheuer’s Seemannsgarn und andere Hamburg-Comics is a single-issue 1993 release from Carlsen Comics that stands as a compact, affectionate love letter to the city of Hamburg. Written and illustrated entirely by Scheuer, this German comic collects a series of short, atmospheric strips that weave together local lore, maritime tall tales, and everyday vignettes from the port city. Though brief in its run, it captures a specific cultural and geographic flavor, offering a charming snapshot of Hamburg’s character through Scheuer’s distinctive, warm cartooning.
