November 2013Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften
Nach Robert Musil. Graphic Novel
by Nicolas Mahler, Andreas Platthaus, Robert Musil
Es gibt Bücher, die man einfach gelesen haben muss. Man weiß es und schreckt doch vor ihnen zurück. Zu gewaltig, zu anspruchsvoll, zu ehrfurchtgebietend muten sie einen an. Robert Musils »Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften« ist solch ein Romankoloss: Man grüßt ihn artig, um sich dann blitzschnell aus dem Staub zu machen. Wer sich aber an dieses Gebirge von Buch herantraut, wird bald überrascht feststellen, wie leicht und amüsant es zu lesen ist, und sich wundern, warum er sich dieses Vergnügen so lange hat entgehen lassen. Wenn ein solch ›wagemutiger‹ Leser dann auch noch zufällig ein so begnadeter Comic-Künstler wie Nicolas Mahler ist, dessen reduzierter Strich und lakonischer Humor ihn zu einem »internationalen Star der Zeichnerszene« (arte) werden ließen, entsteht aus der Begegnung mit Musils Jahrhundertroman etwas ganz und gar Einzigartiges: eine kongeniale Adaption, die ebenso tiefgründig wie übermütig ist.

The ArtsJanuary 2023Ukrainian mal’opys: the (un) told story
by Ruslana Koropetska, Vira Kordoba
No one knows for sure at what point in history one should start talking about comics. It depends on the narrator and the point on the map where he is. Even though we are going to talk about Ukrainian mal’opys* here, we should stop at the start and by leaps and bounds to see from a bird's eye view that we are not alone in the multiple births, nativities, and discoveries of the ninth art form.

August 2020Ulysses
by Nicolas Mahler, James Joyce
Dublin, 16. Juni 1904: ein Tag im Leben des Anzeigenakquisiteurs Leopold Bloom und die Sensationen des Gewöhnlichen – James Joyce hat aus einem Minimum an Stoff ein Maximum an Buch erschaffen: den Ulysses, den bedeutendsten Roman der Moderne, ein Jahrhundertwerk. Joyce' auch in formaler Hinsicht spektakuläre Schöpfung hat Nicolas Mahler zu einer Bilderzählung inspiriert, die keine bloße Illustration oder Adaption des Romans darstellt, sondern ein eigenständiges und ebenso erfindungsreiches wie witziges Werk. Mit den Mitteln des Comics werden hier die verschiedenen literarischen Techniken des Originals zeichnerisch verwandelt. Mahler montiert, zitiert und schwadroniert dabei ganz im Geiste von Joyce. Mit seiner Comic-Interpretation des modernen Klassikers, die zugleich eine Hommage an eine goldene Ära des Zeitungscomics darstellt, ist der Ulysses auf ungeahnte Weise ganz neu zu entdecken.

by Mariana Ruiz Johnson
The most delicious soup and other stories brings together five stories that take place in the village of Villa Verde, the place where all the characters live and interact. The stories are apparently very simple, yet they offer readers a delicate literary experience woven from references, ways of naming the world, images, and experiences typical of young children. This book, moreover, shares many elements with comics. In fact, we could see it as a comic for very young children, where the author, Mariana Ruiz Johnson, has used nib and Indian ink and digital color to provide readers with images in warm colors and a very rich illustration work with thousands of details for the delight of readers.

by Bertram, Rüdiger
Auch Superhelden brauchen mal Urlaub - aber wer rettet dann die Welt? Comic-Experte Juli soll die Sommerferien bei seinem Onkel verbringen, dem ein Hotel an der Nordsee gehört. Sechs Wochen Luxus pur - hört sich cool an, klar. Doch es kommt noch besser: Juli stellt nämlich fest, dass die Gäste, die dort schlaff am Hotel-Pool seines Onkels rumhängen, den Superhelden aus seinem Comics erstaunlich ähnlich sehen ... Juli ist auf alles gefasst, als er im Zug gen Norden sitzt - den Koffer prall gefüllt mit Comic-Lesestoff (gegen Langeweile und für alle Fälle). Dass er die Sommerferien im Luxushotel seines Onkels jedoch nicht alleine, sondern mit seiner Nervziegen-Cousine Jenny verbringen muss, ist erst der Anfang des unglaublichsten Ferienabenteuers aller Zeiten: Denn dort am Pool lümmeln sich Juli seltsam bekannt vorkommende Gestalten. Ist das dort drüben etwa Rocketman aus seinem Lieblingscomic? Kaum zu glauben! Doch bevor Juli und seine Cousine Jenny herausfinden können, was es mit den coolen Hotelgästen genau auf sich hat, stellt plötzlich ein viel größeres Problem alles in den Schatten: der fiese Schurke Kästle möchte alle Schokoladenvorräte der Welt vernichten! Jemand muss ihn aufhalten. Und plötzlich finden sich Comic-Experte Juli und seine nervige Cousine Jenny mitten im südamerikanischen Dschungel und im größten Abenteuer ihres Lebens wieder - denn einer muss den Job ja machen! Eins ist sicher: Diese Sommerferien werden die beiden nie vergessen! Voll super, Helden - Einer muss den Job ja machen ist der Auftakt zu einer neuen witzigen Abenteuerreihe von Erfolgsautor Rüdiger Bertram.

April 2019El baile de San Pascual
by Vieco, Camilo
El Baile de San Pascual is award-winning author Camilo Vieco's first YA Graphic Novel. It is a fantasy epic story set in the Páramos, an endangered enviromnent in Colombia. In times of scarcity, the community that lives around the páramo of Ocetá organizes a party to ask San Pascual for help. But beware of abusing their generosity because the cost can be very high! With this graphic adventure novel, the cartoonist Camilo Vieco inaugurates a world of characters and landscapes inspired by peasant life and the Colombian páramos. Cohete Cómics presents Camilo Vieco's first graphic novel as a complete author. This project was developed at the ÉESI in Anguleme while its author was finishing a master's degree in Sequential Art. El baile de San Pascual is an adventure graphic novel inspired by the life of the peasants and the Colombian páramos. Camilo Vieco starts from the syncretism that occurred in Boyacá during the 16th century between the figure of the saint San Pascual Bailón and the Chibcha god Memcatacaquien to create a story about the relationship between human ambition and the laws of nature. This is the story of an irresponsible man who abuses the generosity of the moor, and of Agustina and Ignacio, two brothers who are forced to resolve the chaos caused by their father. In the process, they learn to take care of themselves and encounter fantastic creatures hidden in the heart of the páramo of Ocetá.
