Was gibt’s denn da zu lachen?
Die komische Kunst des WALTER MOERS. Vom Käpt‘n Blaubär, dem Kleinen Arschloch und dem fantastischen Kontinent Zamonien
A brilliant dual talent—an author who draws and an illustrator who writes—Walter Moers has created well-known characters and told their stories with humor and depth like no other in Germany. Be it the yarn-spinning ‘Captain Bluebear’, whose tall tales amuse young and old alike; or the jet-black humor of cult comic figure of the 1990s, the utterly politically incorrect ‘Kleine Arschloch’, (literally ‘Little Asshole’); or the wondrous continent of Zamonia, which Moers builds with ease and bizarre wit around his alter ego, ‘Hildegunst von Mythenmetz’, Moers’ work is a truly unique cosmos of comic art.
With numerous original drawings, this volume takes the reader on a fantastical voyage of discovery, offering both familiar and fresh insights into the artist’s colorful world of characters.
