Simplicissimus

Simplicissimus, launched by Splitter in 1995, is a German comic series that adapts the classic 17th-century picaresque novel by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen. The series, currently comprising a single issue, reimagines the story of a naive young man's brutal journey through the Thirty Years' War, blending historical detail with dark satire. It stands as a distinctive, standalone graphic novel entry in the European comics tradition, notable for its literary roots and grimly comic perspective on war and humanity.
