JAZAM! Coming of Age

After 17 years, 15 books, and various specials, we just put out our final volume of German indie comics anthology JAZAM!

We launched a successful Kickstarter campaign last fall and finally got the finished books from the printer's a week ago. I just finished shipping all of the rewards today.

I contributed a 25-page queer fantasy adventure/romance story called "Murkis großer Tag". Here's a 2-page spread from the comic:

Some photos of my pages in the book:

The book contains comics & illustrations from 33 other artists and is 240 pages in full color. If you missed the Kickstarter, you can order the book now from Kwimbi

Fauler Zauber - Comic Video

For the YIPPIE YouTube channel, Katja Klengel and I made a video version of my short kids comic "Fauler Zauber" from 2016 with music, sound effects and voices (in German):

JAZAM! vol. 11, where this story originally appeared, is unfortunately sold out, but our other kids issue "Schreckgeschichten" is still available at the Kwimbi shop.

The English version of "Fauler Zauber" ("Dirty Tricks") is on Tapas.

U.P.P.

I made this 6-page comic with Said Omar Eshaq in 2018 for JAZAM! Schreckgeschichten. He did the story & line art, I did the colors.

It's also up on Tapas.

Buy the whole book (theme: "Schreckgeschichten"/"scary stories") now at Kwimbi, Hummelcomic, or Amazon.de!

The new JAZAM!

For 13 years now, my co-editors and I have been putting out the German indie comics anthology JAZAM!, but this year we thought we'd try something different: rather than assembling stories from dozens of different artists, we picked just one.

David Füleki has continuously contributed awesome short comics to JAZAM! for many years now, and we thought it would be great if people could read all of them in one place. He also liked this idea, and so he reworked and expanded them, drew new introduction comics for most of them, and added a few fun stories that were previously unpublished or published in other anthologies.

I myself got to color one of my favorite comics of his, "Beppo Biber".

Here's the cool cover for "The Best (and Worst) of David Füleki":

And a page from "Beppo Biber" with my colors:

JAZAM! Schreckgeschichten

There's a new JAZAM! book! The newest volume of the German indie comics anthology (of which I am an editor) has the topic "Schreckgeschichten" (scary stories) and a cool new square format. It's almost 300 pages long and contains short comics by 45 different artists, including one 2-page story by yours truly and another 6-page story by Said Omar Eshaq for which I did the colors (see a preview here).

This is the book, with a great cover by Manuel Kilger:

Here's the first page from my own comic:

See some more sample pages at MyComics.de

You can order the book right now from the following shops:
The JAZAM! shop | Kwimbi.de (signed by me) | Hummelcomic.de | Amazon.de

You're also gonna be able to get it at all the upcoming comics conventions, including Comic-Salon Erlangen, Comic Invasion Berlin, and Comic Con Germany in Stuttgart.

We also just printed a new edition of our long-out of print vol. 4, "Monsters". That one is only available at our shop so far (+ the aforementioned conventions).

The Chess Match

"The Chess Match," my full 6-page from last year's JAZAM! vol. 12 (topic: "game") is now available in English and for free at Tapas. I wrote the story for this one with my talented girlfriend Katja Klengel.

JAZAM! previews

There's a new volume of our indie comics anthology JAZAM! coming out in May, and I'm almost done assembling all the comics and things for it. Here are some early previews.

First, a single panel from my own 2-page comic:

And this is the first page (of 6) of Said Omar Eshaq's comic, which I colored. I always love his character designs & style!

Dirty Tricks

Now that JAZAM! vol. 12 is out (order now at our shop, Kwimbi, or Amazon.de), I've finally translated and uploaded my comic for last year's JAZAM!, "Dirty Tricks". This one was first published in JAZAM! vol. 11, our kids-friendly volume with the theme "adventure".

Click on the first page to read the entire comic on Tapas (formerly "Tapastic"):

It's a Match!

I've finally uploaded a new comic to Tapas (formerly Tapastic)! I've added it to my collection of "JAZAM! stories," even though it isn't technically a JAZAM! comic - this one is a short comic that I drew in 2016 for #8 of Whoa! Comics, a different German indie comics anthology.

You can still buy the book (which contains the German version of this comic) HERE.

The Bomb Technicians

I've published almost all of my JAZAM! comics on Tapastic, and now we're getting to the really old ones! This comic was first published in JAZAM! vol. 3 (topic: "Time") in 2008. Click on the first page to read the entire comic:

I have to admit that I don't like this one very much anymore, but maybe some of you are gonna find something to enjoy here?

You can buy the book right here: JAZAM! Shop

Over the next couple of months, I'm going to publish my remaining JAZAM! comics on Tapastic and here. Stay tuned!

Livestock

This comic first appeared in JAZAM! vol. 4 (topic: "Monsters") in 2009, and now I've colored the whole thing, translated it into English, and put it online for the first time ever!

Click on the first page to read it in English at Tapastic:

Or CLICK HERE to read it in German at MyComics.de

It's probably one of the most political (and cynical) comics I've done. How do you like it?

JAZAM! vol. 4 is no longer available, but you can get most of our other issues in our shop.

Erlangen 2016

This week I'm going to Internationaler Comic-Salon Erlangen 2016, Germany's biggest, coolest, most important comic convention. You'll find me at the JAZAM! table (Halle B, Stand 38) most of the time.

At our table, we're selling the new JAZAM! as well as some of these other neat comics & things:

At the following times I'm definitely signing books at our table:

JAZAM! Vol. 11

The new volume of German indie comics anthology JAZAM!, of which I am an editor, is almost here! The topic this time is "Adventure" and the whole book is designed to be suitable for all ages. I myself drew a 9-page comic called "Fauler Zauber" for it. Here's the first page:

The book contains 320 pages of full-color comics by 51 different artists. I think it's our best volume yet and a lot of fun! There's a 16-page preview on MyComics.de.

Here's the wonderful cover by Natalie Dombois:

You can now pre-order the book at our online shop and you'll be able to buy signed copies at all of my future festival and con appearances, most importantly at Comicsalon Erlangen in late May.
