avant Verlag

The avant-verlag has been publishing comics and graphic novels targeted at lovers of graphics, art and literature since 2001. Sometimes – and more often than preconceived notions might suggest – comics deal vigorously with the here and now, with the political or social debates and rifts that characterise the world in which we live. Authors such as Birgit Weyhe, Manuele Fior, Simon Schwartz, Gipi, Liv Strömquist, David B., Zerocalcare and Joann Sfar give the avant-verlag an unmistakable profile.
This new generation of comic authors tells political, but also personal stories, develops innovative visual languages, and demonstrates what comics are today: an exciting medium with real literary quality.
