Stern has a few." that's partly wrong. a lot of german newspapers carry comicstrips, but most of them are licensed material. but so far, only three newspapers carry their own daily strip by german artists (named "strizz", "im museum", "touché"), some more carry some homegrown weeklys. "der stern" ain't a newspaper, it's a news magazine, i.e it's published weekly. almost all of these strips and one-pagers are also published in bookform. isabel kreitz herself started her career as a studioartist for a german comic strip and later developed her own series. kreitz is heavily influenced by the american studio-system, as you especially can see in her early works, her own strips (not her studio-work), short-storys and the four horror-graphic-novels, which show influences by eisner and the ec-horror-line, which is rather unusual for a german comic artist, especially a female one. at the frankfurt book fair in october this year i had put her together with jason lutes for a panel-talk about historical graphic novels, where she amazed lutes with the fact, that she had writen and drawn that whole, brillant "sorge"-thing (240 pages) within 12 months. “Few comicstrips are published in newspapers.

Of note are the thick paperbacks containing lesser Disney stories. Few comicstrips are published in newspapers. Stern has a few. They are published in book form. There is a vibrant publishers market, dominated by Ehapa and Carlsen. Most of what sells is licensed from elsewhere: USA, France, Belgium, Japan. The Continent understands graphic novels. Bookstores readily carry them. Comicbookstores are specialty retailers, and do import English language comics via Diamond. Wilhelm Busch is the godfather of German Comics. The Max and Moritz Prize is named after his most famous characters. His archives are the nucleus of the German comics museum, located in Hanover, Germany. The secondary education system in Germany is more specialized, so there is a great opportunity for homegrown talent. Erlangen hosts a biennial comics salon, similar in spirit to MoCCAfest, but with the entire city involved. 2010.

It was great to see you last night and a terrific event. I'm sorry our conversation got cut off, the price I pay for working the bar. Thanks for posting the trailer, I wanted to tell some people about it. You really do never sleep. It was great to see you last night and a terrific event.
