Slocum - Schiffbruch auf dem East River

In Slocum - Schiffbruch auf dem East River (2021–present, avant-verlag), Jan Soeken presents a single-issue comic that blends historical maritime adventure with a surreal New York City misadventure. The story follows the titular character, Slocum, as he navigates a bizarre shipwreck on the East River, weaving a tale of resilience and absurdity. Soeken’s distinctive artwork and deadpan storytelling give this German-published series a quiet, offbeat charm, making it a curious entry in contemporary European comics.
