Sumsi Sonderheft

From 1983 onward, the German banking cooperative Volksbanken und Raiffeisenbanken published Sumsi Sonderheft, a series of twelve comic issues built around their mascot, the cheerful elephant Sumsi. Designed as a promotional giveaway for young customers, each issue blended lighthearted adventures with gentle financial literacy themes. While the series lacks a single defining creator, its enduring run reflects a unique intersection of regional banking culture and family-friendly comics in Germany.
