Unglücksfälle & Verbrechen

The Swiss publisher Edition Moderne launched Unglücksfälle & Verbrechen in 1996, a single-issue showcase of the singular, atmospheric work of Italian master Lorenzo Mattotti. Known for his painterly, expressionistic style, Mattotti both writes and illustrates this self-contained volume, which stands as a distinctive European art-comic artifact. Its title translates to "Accidents & Crimes," hinting at the dark, narrative tension that threads through Mattotti's vivid, wordless storytelling.
