Wie ein samtener Handschuh in eisernen Fesseln

Daniel Clowes' Wie ein samtener Handschuh in eisernen Fesseln is a German-language edition of his acclaimed, surrealist graphic novel, originally serialized in the 1990s and published by Reprodukt in 2011. This single-issue volume collects Clowes' hypnotic, noir-tinged narrative of obsession, identity, and urban decay, rendered in his signature meticulous linework and deadpan storytelling. A cornerstone of alternative comics, it showcases Clowes' ability to blend psychological dread with dark humor, cementing his reputation as a defining voice of the medium's literary turn.
