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.

"Die Toten" Halloween Reading in Berlin

If you're in Berlin this Thursday night (on Halloween!), you can come and see (and hear) Katja Klengel and me read from my new book "Die Toten: Isar Palace" at Modern Graphics Kastanienallee.

Here's the (German) info text:

Am Donnerstag, den 31. Oktober feiern wir im Laden in der Kastanienallee HALLOWEEN! 

Um 20 Uhr Uhr lesen die beiden Berliner Comiczeichner*innen Adrian vom Baur und Katja Klengel bei gruseliger Atmosphäre aus Adrians neuem Comic-Album "Die Toten: Isar Palace". 

Die von ihm geschriebene und gezeichnete Horrorgeschichte dreht sich um eine Mordserie in einem Münchner Luxus-Wohnkomplex während der Zombie-Apokalypse.
Mit "Die Toten: Isar Palace" nimmt der Zwerchfell Verlag die erfolgreiche Zombiecomicreihe "Die Toten" wieder neu und bietet mit Adrian vom Baurs Standalone-Story einen idealen Anfang auch für Neueinsteiger in die Serie. 

Im Anschluss an die Lesung beantwortet Adrian Fragen zum Comic und signiert seinen Comic.

Palms in Sorrow

This Sunday, I'm doing another Reading Panels comic reading in Dresden. This time, we're reading one of my favorite German comics, "Das UPgrade" by Sascha Wüstefeld and Ulf S. Graupner. In the comic, there's a fictional song called "Palms in Sorrow", which I recorded for the reading. Here it is:

The reading is on Sunday, October 9 at 7pm at Thalia Kino Dresden. Here's the Facebook event!

Reading Panels

Next Sunday (May 22), there will be another one of our Reading Panels comic readings in Dresden. This time, we'll be reading "Hipsters in Hell" as well as several short comics by Katja Klengel, Tim Gaedke, and Matthias Lehmann. For the second time now, the reading will take place in a movie theater called Schauburg.

To promote the reading, we shot this trailer/short film, starring Katja Klengel, David Koslowski, and myself, and written by Katja & me:

The Facebook event has all the information you need.

Reading Panels: "Als ich so alt war"

For the past year or so, I've participated in a number of comic readings in Katja Klengel's "Reading Panels" series. Some of them have been readings of my own comic, Hipsters, others were readings of other artists' comics, which I just joined as a voice actor.

One of the most recent ones was a reading of Katja's great graphic novel "Als ich so alt war" in Dresden last December. This one was special because it contained several songs (which Katja and I performed live) and some live kalimba music. It was also the first one that was filmed in its entirety. See the first part here:



And see the other nine parts RIGHT HERE.

The next reading will be a compilation of several short comics by Katja, Tim Gaedke, Matthias Lehmann, and me at the Schauburg in Dresden on May 22, 2016.

München

Starting this Thursday, I'll be at Comicfestival München 2015, this year's biggest German comics convention. Here's some info about my presence at the festival:

Firstly, you'll be able to buy many of my comics at the JAZAM! table. This includes the brand-new JAZAM! Vol. X, the fairly new "Love & Monsters" (German & English editions), last year's "Hipsters" book, the second printing of "48 Stunden Angst", and many more (like older issues of JAZAM!). You can find us at booth 70 on the top floor (map).

Here's a photo of some of those newer comics:

I also contributed to an indie comic sticker album, which you'll be able to get at our table or from Comic Solidarity.

Then, there are the exhibitions. First, there's a JAZAM! exhibition at Café Kosmos, which I curated (I'm not showing any of my own stuff, though). On Thursday, there will be a big release party.
Then, there's a webcomics exhibition at Alte Kongresshalle (I think), which will include some Hipsters stuff.

Lastly, there are some comic readings. The first one's "Bitstorm - Worst of Weißworst" on Friday night, which is a "worst of" reading where I'll read a fun/bad German superhero comic I drew over ten years ago!
And finally, there's a big JAZAM! reading on Saturday around noon: "Best of JAZAM!". I'll be reading several comics there, including all of "Hipsters in Hell".

Come over and say hi!

Hipsters vs. Lesung (Berlin edition)

If you missed last month's reading in Dresden and happen to be in Berlin next week, you get another chance to see Katja, Tim, and me doing a live Hipsters reading.



The reading will be on Tuesday, April 14, at 8:00 pm, at Buchhandlung Montag in Prenzlauer Berg.

Here's the Facebook event.

And the trailer (for the Dresden reading):

The reading is part of the COMICINVASIONBERLIN 2015 satellite program. JAZAM! will have a table at the CIB main event on April 18/19. Come and visit us!

Hipsters vs. Lesung

Have I mentioned that there will be a big Hipsters reading in Dresden next month? It's on March 8 at "Sabotage" Dresden at 6:00 pm. Have a look at the Facebook event for more details.

If you can't make it to Dresden, there's a good chance there will be another reading in Berlin in April or so!

To promote the reading, Katja, Tim, and I shot a live-action trailer! The weather was much shittier than expected and we kind of froze our asses off, but I think it still turned out pretty well! Watch it here:
