Sowieso

The long-running Swiss comic series Sowieso, launched by Gegenverlag in 1981, is the singular vision of artist Jürg Wagner, who has shaped every one of its issues. Though its publication schedule is famously sparse—with only a single issue released over more than four decades—the series has become a quiet touchstone for its idiosyncratic, self-contained storytelling. Wagner’s consistent, distinctive artwork gives the series a unique identity, making it a noteworthy example of a creator-driven project in European independent comics.
